Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

2 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup honey
5 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine whipping cream, honey, egg yolks, grated orange peel and vanilla in medium bowl and whisk to blend. Divide custard among six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover pan loosely with foil.

    Step 2

    Bake custards in water bath until just set in center, about 1 hour. Remove custards from water bath. Place in refrigerator until cold, about 6 hours. (Custards can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
