Mix milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; stir into coconut milk mixture. Add sugar, vanilla extract, orange blossom water, salt, and lime zest to coconut milk mixture; cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until simmering and mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat, pour mixture into a deep 9-inch cake pan, and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until tembleque is chilled, at least 4 hours to overnight. Remove tembleque from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature, about 10 minutes. Dip bottom of the pan in a bowl of warm water for 1 minute. Carefully separate tembleque from the pan by running a thin knife around the edges. Place a serving dish on top of the pan and invert tembleque onto the dish; garnish with cinnamon. Tips An 8-cup flavored gelatin mold ring or individual ramekins can be used in place of the cake pan if desired.
