Ingredients
Method
- Heat the cream, milk, mixed spice and orange zest in a medium saucepan over a low heat, stirring now and then with a silicone spatula, until it just comes to a simmer.
- Whisk the sugar, cornflour and egg yolks together in a large bowl until pale.
- Whisking all the time, pour a quarter of the cream mixture into the eggs. Once combined, pour in the rest of the cream mixture and whisk again.
- Pour back into the saucepan and cook over a low heat for 6–8 minutes, whisking constantly, until it coats the back of a spoon and is as thick as double cream, or reaches 74–79°C on a thermometer.
- Take off the heat and strain through a sieve into the bowl. Cover the surface with cling film and leave to cool completely.
- Once cool, remove the cling film. Pour the base into the pint. Put the lid on and freeze for 24 hours.
- Press: GELATO Take the pint out of the freezer, remove the lid, lock it into the outer bowl with the paddle lid, place it on the machine and select gelato.
- Press: MIX-IN Make a hole about 4 cm wide down to the bottom of the pint. Add the raisins and chopped mixed peel to the hole and spin again on the mix-in program.
- Serve straight away.
