How to Make Flan De Naranja Orange Custard

  1. Gently heat 2 cups of whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Keep warm until needed.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until fully incorporated.
  4. Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in a small amount of the warm milk. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  5. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining warm milk, whisking constantly until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. Let cool completely.
  7. While the custard cools, peel 3 large oranges and separate them into segments. Arrange the orange segments in a 6-cup serving dish or flan mold.
  8. Sprinkle the oranges generously with ¼ cup of packed light brown sugar.
  9. Pour the cooled custard evenly over the sugared oranges.
  10. Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.
  11. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. To serve, carefully run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the flan. Invert onto a serving plate and enjoy!
