Citrus Eton Mess

Add a citrusy twist to a classic British eton mess by swapping strawberries for clementines and marmalade – you’ll thank us later!

Makes 2

3 tbsp Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade
1 tbsp hot water
100ml whipping cream
3 tangerines, clementines or satsumas
2 meringue nests (individual size)
2 squares of dark chocolate to garnish

Whip the cream

Wash then remove the zest from one of the tangerines, clementines or satsumas and stir the zest into the cream.

Peel and segment the tangerines, clementines or satsumas. Reserve half of the whole segments for decoration and cut the rest in half. Stir the half segments through the cream.

Break the meringue into pieces.

In a small bowl, combine the Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade with the hot water and stir to make a sauce – you may need to use a small whisk to make it nice and smooth.

Place a few pieces of meringue in the base of your jars and then a spoonful of fruit cream. Add a couple of segments of fruit and a drizzle of sauce. Repeat the layers and finish with a few pieces of fruit and a spoonful of the sauce.

Grate chocolate over the top if desired.

Ingredients

310g Duerr’s Classic Seville Thick Cut Marmalade
500ml whipping/heavy cream (36 per cent fat)
30g Caster sugar
1-2 tsp orange juice

Method

Combine the marmalade, cream and sugar in a food processor or blender and blend briefly so that the peel remains in discernible pieces.

Taste and add the orange juice to your liking.

Either still freeze or start the ice-cream machine – pouring in the marmalade mix, and churn until the ice cream is the consistency of softly whipped cream.

Quickly scrape into plastic freezer boxes and cover with a piece of waxed or greaseproof paper and a lid. Finally label, then freeze.

Serve within 1 hour, or if frozen the ice cream will need about 20 minutes in the fridge before it is soft enough to serve.
