This is a traditional and fairly light Scottish dessert flavoured with that classic Scottish preserve, marmalade. This really does need thick, bitter Dundee-style marmalade but you could use another kind or marmalade just bring to a boil with 2 tbsp water and the pith of an orange for a couple of minutes then remove the pith and use in this recipe.

Ingredients:

120g cream cheese
120ml double cream
1 tbsp marmalade
2 tbsp brandy or rum
2 tsp lemon juice
sugar, to taste
4 oranges, peeled with a knife to remove the pith and segmented
orange zest to garnish
mint to garnish

Method:

Add all the ingredients (except the orange segments) to a blender or large bowl and cream together until smooth.

Divide the orange segments between the bases of four long-stemmed glasses and add 1 tsp of the alcohol. Spoon the flavoured cream on top then place in the fridge for at least 40 minutes to chill.

Garnish with orange zest and a sprig of mint and serve.
