This is also called Crema Catalana.
Put milk or half and half to boil with the grated rinds and cinnamon sticks.
In a bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch and yolks, and after milk has simmered for a few minutes, let cool a little and add to bowl ,strained, stirring all the while. Then bring again slowly to a boil and simmer until thick, stirring to avoid sticking. Take out of fire and keep stirring until it has cooled enough to not make a skin. It helps to cool putting pot in water.
Then refrigerate overnight, and before serving sprinkle with powdered sugar and burn it either with a hot iron or with a burner so it caramelizes and forms a caramel surface.
Serve with cinnamon. It is also wonderful with strawberries.
