Flan De Naranja (Orange Custard) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 pint milk
    2 egg yolks
    3 tablespoons sugar (or Splenda equivalent)
    2 oranges
    1 tablespoon brown sugar (to taste)
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste
Preparation
    Heat milk, over low heat, in a small saucepan on the back burner and keep warm until ready to use.
    In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch; slowly whisk in a little of the hot milk to temper the eggs.
    Pour egg mixture into warm milk and stir constantly until thickened a bit (flan will thicken while it is chilling in the refrigerator).
    While the custard cools, peel oranges and divide them into sections: place into a serving bowl or mold; sprinkle oranges liberally with brown sugar (I stir and crush them a little to release some of the juice).
    Pour cooled custard over oranges; sprinkle with cinnamon.
    Chill, in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, loosen carefully from sides, invert onto a plate, and serve.
