Frozen Vanilla Creams With Spiced Oranges - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 None egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp rum
1 None vanilla bean, seeds scraped out
1 cup heavy cream, whipped until stiff
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp grenadine
None pinch ground cinnamon
2 tbsp orange liqueur
2 None oranges, peeled and broken into segments, pith and membranes removed
None None orange slices and fresh mint leaves, to decorate

Preparation

For the parfaits, place the egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp water in a metal bowl set over a warm water bath. Add the rum and vanilla bean scrapings and stir. Remove the bowl from the water bath and whisk with a mixer until cold. Gradually fold in the whipped cream. Spoon the mixture into 4 x 3/4 cup ramekins, cover with aluminum foil and freeze for 5 hours.
For the spiced oranges, place 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a saucepan and melt over low heat. Add the orange juice and grenadine and bring to a boil, stirring. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 5 mins. Stir in the cinnamon and orange liqueur. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the orange segments. Allow to cool.
To serve, remove the parfaits from the freezer about 10 mins before serving. Run a hot knife around the edges of the ramekins to carefully loosen the parfaits and turn out on to dessert plates. Arrange the spiced oranges on the plates and decorate with fresh orange slices and mint leaves.
