Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 3, 170°C, fan 150°C.
  2. In a pan, heat the cream, sugar, vanilla and orange zest until bubbling. Strain into a jug. Leave to cool.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, and then pour in a little of the cream mixture; whisk again. Add the remaining cream gradually, whisking continuously to make a custard.
  4. Put 6 ramekins in a roasting tin and pour the custard mixture into them. Pour just-boiled water into the tin to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cook for 30-35 minutes, or until just set with a slight wobble when shaken. Set aside to cool. Chill overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
  5. In a bowl, mix the pomegranate seeds with the honey and cinnamon. Spoon over the custards to serve.
