  • Cut the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds.
  • Place the milk, vanilla (pod and seeds), and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and wait for the first boil.
  • In the pot, add the milk, sugar, orange zest, eggs (previously beaten), vanilla, and dissolved cornstarch, stirring vigorously to avoid lumps and to incorporate all ingredients.
  • In another bowl, place the yolks and the other half of the sugar. Mix very well with a whisk. Then add the cornstarch.
  • With the milk, temper the yolks and then return everything to the heat. Stir constantly with a whisk until it thickens.
  • Remove from heat as soon as it thickens to your liking and transfer it to another container, spreading the mixture, and let it cool to room temperature.
