Pour into 1-quart mold or 4 (8 to 10-ounce) dessert dishes. Chill until firm, several hours or overnight. Just before serving, unmold onto dessert plate(s).

To make Orange Custard Sauce: In small saucepan, beat together egg yolks, milk and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches 160F degrees. Remove from heat. Stir in orange juice concentrate. Cool quickly by setting pan in bowl of ice or cold water and stirring for a few minutes. Cover and chill thoroughly. Spoon sauce around rim of plate(s) or pass sauce. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
