Ingredients:

2 large egg yolks

1 cup heavy cream

⅓ cup white sugar

1 tablespoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Grated peel of one Orange

Directions:

Whisk egg yolks, cream, sugar, brandy-based orange liqueur, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan until smooth.

Place saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula scraping the bottom, until the mixture is hot and thickens slightly, and a thermometer reaches 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, strain to remove any over-cooked particles of egg, and allow cool.
