Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 whole eggs separated
  • 2 cups milk skim or 1%
  • 2 oranges zested
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or coconut palm sugar, or 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated or ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 shots white rum more or less to taste, optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs yolks until they lighten in color, set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer and beat eggs whites until they form stiff peaks, set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over low-heat, whisk together the milk, orange zest, sweetener, cinnamon and nutmeg, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until steaming but not simmering. Slowly pour the egg yolks into the spiced milk, while whisking continuously and heat 3-4 minutes.
