Ingredients

  • 250 ml (8.8fl oz) full-fat milk
  • 125 ml (4.4fl oz) double cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 88 g (3.1oz) caster sugar
  • 135 g (4.8oz) Seville orange marmalade, plus extra to decorate
  • 1 orange, zest only

Method

  • Pour the milk and cream into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam but not boil.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl until smooth.
  • Add the sugar and whisk until pale and slightly fluffy.
  • Gradually and slowly, pour the hot milk into the egg mixture whilst whisking continuously to prevent the eggs scrambling.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over a low heat, stirring frequently until the custard thinly coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Do not allow to boil.
  • Add the marmalade and mix with a stick blender.
  • Pour the mixture back into the bowl and set aside for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooled to room temperature.
  • For more rapid chilling, half-fill a sink with cold water and ice and place the bowl of mixture in it for 20 minutes.
  • Never put the hot mixture into the fridge.
  • Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate, ideally overnight, but at least for 6 hours, until thoroughly chilled (at least 4C).
  • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • When the churning is completed.
  • Use a spoon or spatula to scrape the mixture into a freezer-proof container with a lid.
  • Freeze until it reaches the correct scooping texture (at least 2 hours).
  • Decorate each portion with the orange zest and dollops of marmalade before serving.
