  3. Spread onto a try and bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
  4. Cool and serve.
  5. Combine the egg yolks and the sugar in a heat-resistant bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and pale and a ribbon trail forms when the whisk or beaters are lifted (around 5 minutes).

  1. Whisk the cream in a medium mixing bowl  until soft peaks form.

Step 5

  1. Pour the ice-cream mixture into an airtight container and pop into the freezer and freezer until firm.
  2. Cut up a punnet of strawberries and add them to a pan with the juice of 2 blood oranges. Cook on very low hear for 5-10 minutes or until softened and cooked through. Keep a close eye on the mixture as it cooks and add extra water if needed.

Recipe Notes

Make the ice-cream the night before so that it is ready to use. Alternatively you can use a quality store bought ice-cream.

Some people might like to add a little extra sugar to the strawberries for sweetness and balance. I ty and resist extra sugar at all times so I have not included it in this recipe.
