How to Make Iced Clementine Parfait

  1. Gently heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan until almost simmering. Meanwhile, whisk together 3 large eggs and ½ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl.
  2. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  3. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, and let cool completely. While cooling, prepare the clementines.
  5. Zest and juice 6 clementines. Add both zest and juice to the cooled custard.
  6. Peel and pith 2 additional clementines. Chop into small pieces and add to the custard.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the custard until just combined.
  8. Line a 900g loaf tin with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  9. Pour the custard mixture into the prepared loaf tin and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. About 10 minutes before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer.
  11. Peel, segment, and remove any pith and seeds from the remaining clementines.
  12. Unmold the parfait onto a serving dish, removing the plastic wrap. Garnish the top with some of the clementine segments.
  13. Melt 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle over the parfait.
  14. Serve in slices, garnished with any remaining clementine segments.
