NATILLA - CUBAN CUSTARD
Another of my grandmother's recipes. We would eat this plain, as creme brulée, with fresh fruit, or used it as a filler for cake. I have translated this from a Spanish recipe, so bear with me if the wording is strange. I am guesstimating on the time as I have not made this myself in 10 years--my grandma always made it for me!

This custard is eaten all over Latin America, but particularly in Cuba and Colombia. Orange juice can be substituted for the pineapple and, either way, it is terrific paired with Recipe #170551 posted separately.

ORANGE NATILLA CUSTARD PIE

ORANGE AND AVOCADO NATILLA (MEXICAN CUSTARD PUDDING)
A dearly loved and very light and thin custard style dessert from Mexico, natilla is a welcome sweet ending to a meal. In this recipe, the natilla is infused with reduced orange juice and gets extra creamy and nutty with the addition of avocado. Cacao nibs as a garnish round it out in a beautiful and balanced way.

Steps:
- Pour the orange juice into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the sugar, stir and, once it comes to a gentle simmer, 4 to 5 minutes later, cook for 5 minutes. Let cool.
- In another saucepan, pour in the milk and place over medium-low heat. Once it comes to a simmer, remove from the heat.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the cream, cornstarch, egg yolks and salt until thoroughly combined. Gently pour the warm milk in a thin stream into the egg yolk mixture, beating well with a whisk or fork. Once mixed, pour the orange mixture into egg yolk-milk mixture in a thin stream, whisking as you do. Return the entire mixture to a saucepan and place over medium-low heat, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Mix in the avocado, whisking thoroughly with a whisk or fork until thoroughly combined. Strain the mixture, using a fine strainer, onto a bowl.
- Chill the mixture by placing the bowl over an ice bath. Cover the natilla with plastic wrap placed directly onto the custard so it will not create a film. Place in the refrigerator and let completely chill. Serve by spooning the natilla into bowls and garnish with cacao nibs.
