Need a warming dessert to impress dinner guests? Our Mandarin Custard will not fail to impress – and it’s failproof too, since it’s baked in the oven: no risk of a ‘scrambled’ mess!
Serves: Four
Time: One hour
Ingredients
- 6 mandarins
- 1 tablespoon marmalade
- 275ml natural yoghurt
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
Method
Pre heat the oven to 180°C. Finely grate the rind of three mandarins. Divide the marmalade between four ramekins. Divide the mandarins into segments and split between the dishes.
In a bowl, beat the yoghurt, egg yolks, sugar and grated rind. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the yoghurt mixture and pour over the mandarins.
Place the dishes in a roasting pan filled with enough water to come half way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for thirty-five minutes or until the custard is set and firm to touch.
