Preparation
- Step 1
Place the milk, cinnamon stick, salt and lime peel in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, letting the spice and lime steep in the milk.
- Step 2
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch until blended well.
- Step 3
Discard the cinnamon stick and lime peel and combine the infused milk with the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture thickens to soft-custard consistency, turn the heat off and add the vanilla. Pour into a large dessert dish (like a 7-inch souffle dish) or 4 individual ½-cup dessert ramekins and chill.
- Step 4
Serve sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
