Method

step 1

Put the cream and milk into a large pan and gently bring to just below boiling point. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the yolks, cornflour, sugar, clementine zest and juice. Gradually pour on the hot milk mixture, whisking the sugar mixture constantly.
step 2

Wipe out the saucepan and pour the custard mixture back into it. Heat gently, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard is thickened, coating the spoon. Eat hot or cold.

RECIPE TIPS

MAKE AHEAD

You can make this up to 2 days ahead – just put a sheet of cling film directly onto the surface of the custard and chill, then gently reheat in a pan or microwave.
