Desserts Clementine Clouds
Serves : 6
Preparation Time: 30 minutes (plus cooling)
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 tbsp clear honey
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 250ml freshly squeezed clementine juice (about 8 fruits)
Serving suggestions
- Thick double cream or crème fraîche
- Clementine slices
- Shaved chocolate or chopped pistachios
- Dessert biscuits
Method
-
Using an electric hand whisk, beat the egg yolks with half the sugar for 1-2 minutes in a mixing bowl until creamy and pale coloured. Whisk in the honey and cornflour and then gradually whisk in the juice until evenly incorporated.
-
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and stir regularly over a low heat with a wooden spoon until it bubbles and thickens to a custard-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin forming.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until standing in soft peaks, then gradually whisk in the remaining sugar. Stir a large spoonful of the whites into the cooled mixture to soften it, before folding in the rest.
-
Spoon into serving glasses and chill in the fridge until ready to serve. If liked, decorate each dessert with a spoonful of thick cream, clementine slices, shaved chocolate or chopped pistachios and dessert biscuits.
