Orange Zest Infused Cream Curd

Ingredients

• Zest of 2-3 oranges
• 1 quart heavy cream
• 10 egg yolks
• 2 egg whites
• Sugar to taste

Method

1. 1 Boil orange zest in water until very tender. Drain, then mash finely and rub through a fine mesh sieve to remove pith.
2. 2 Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and whites together, then slowly temper them into the hot cream while stirring constantly.
3. 3 Continue stirring gently until the mixture thickens into a curd-like consistency. Strain through a sieve to remove any cooked egg bits.
4. 4 Let the curd cool completely. Stir in the strained orange zest and sugar to taste. Refrigerate until set.
