- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick. Add in the heavy cream, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
Next, pour the mixture into six ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
