  • Boil 1/2 cup of water with the cinnamon stick until it releases its flavor. Remove from heat and strain into a pot where all the ingredients fit
  • Dilute the cornstarch in 1/2 cup of cold water.
  • In the pot put the milk, sugar, orange zest, the yolks (previously beaten), vanilla and cornstarch diluted stirring vigorously to avoid lumps and incorporate all the ingredients.
  • Put on medium heat and stir constantly to avoid sticking.
  • The cream will thicken as time goes by.
  • Remove from heat as soon as it thickens to taste and allow to cool to room temperature. It served me to fill a 23cm round cake and it was quite thick layer, so it yields a lot.
