¼ tsp orange zest

¼ tsp vanilla essence

80g (1/3 cup) vanilla fruche

  3. For filling, combine sugar and cornflour in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mix thickens and simmers. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk egg in small bowl. Gradually stir ½ cup of hot mix into egg. Return to mix in pan. Cook, stirring, until at a simmer. Cook on low for 2 minutes.
