This is a very refreshing dessert after a big meal or on a hot sunny day. The recipe says it serves 6 but when I made it I found that it serves 10. Great flavor

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups skim milk
3 large eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh is best)
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon butter
4 teaspoons vanilla extract (use pure if possible)
