How to Make Orange Filling

  1. In a double boiler, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until well combined.
  2. Add 2 large egg yolks and 1 cup fresh orange juice. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Cook over simmering water, whisking constantly, for 10-15 minutes, or until the filling thickens significantly and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of finely grated orange zest. Whisk until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the filling into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
