This sweet and citrus-y orange cream frosting is one of my favorite fillings. It pairs especially well with light and airy angel food cake.

Ingredients

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup 200gr sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup 160ml orange juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup 170gr unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup 240ml heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, orange juice and salt until well combined. Stir in butter and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. And let it boil for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Pour orange mixture through fine mesh strainer. Cover with plastic wrap so it touches the orange curd. Refrigerate for about an hour.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed till hard peaks form. Fold the whipped cream and grated orange peal into the cooled orange curd.
