Iced Clementine Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk slowly until it almost reaches boiling point and while the milk is heating, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a medium sized bowl.
• Pour the hot milk over the eggs and sugar and stir together; return the milk mixture to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture has thickened to a custard that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; remove from heat and sieve and leave to cool while you prepare the clementines.
• Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from 6 clementines, then add both to the custard; remove the peel and pith from 2 more clementines, chop into small pieces and add to the custard.
• Whisk the cream until it stands in soft peaks, stir the cream into the custard and mix until smooth.
• Line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with cling film; pour the custard into the prepared tin and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• TO SERVE: About 10 minutes before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer; remove the pith, peel and pips from the remaining clementines and separate into segments; turn out the parfait onto a serving dish, peel away the cling film and decorate the top of the parfait with some of the clementine slices.
• Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the parfait; serve cut in slices with any remaining clementine segments.

Steps:

• Line a 20cm round tin, preferably loose-based, with cling film, using more than one piece if necessary to cover the bottom and up the sides, and pop in the freezer.
• Roughly break up the meringues with your fingers into a bowl, aiming for nothing bigger than a golf ball.
• Put the cream and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until starting to stiffen. Stop when it looks floppy, like Greek yogurt.
• Grate over the lemon zest and sprinkle over the gin and meringue rubble. Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the cream up, over and round, until just combined.
• Stir the lemon curd so it's gloopy rather than firm; if it remains too thick, dilute with a tsp of gin. Dollop over the surface of the cream. Take your spoon and fold it in, turning the bowl as you do so - no more than a dozen folds, so the curd forms streaks. Spoon gently into the tin and freeze for at least four hours. Once firm, cover with cling film.
• About 10-20 mins before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer, invert onto a plate, peel away the cling film, and return right-side-up, at room temperature. Serve in wedges with lemon curd drizzled over and the fruit on the side.
