  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 25g of the sugar, and the cornflour
  3. Still whisking, gradually pour in the warm milk mixture
  4. Once incorporated, return everything to the pan and keep whisking over a low heat for 6-8 mins, until the custard becomes thick and smooth
  5. Pour into a jug, cover with cling film and leave to cool
  6. Bring the orange juice, star anise (if using) and remaining sugar to the boil in a saucepan
  7. Reduce the heat and add the clementines
  8. Cover and poach for 10 mins
  9. Leave to cool completely, then separate into segments
  10. Discard the star anise
  11. To assemble, whip the remaining cream
  12. Layer all the clementine segments, along with a little poaching liquid, around the bottom of 8 serving glasses
  13. Spoon in half the custard and crumble over half the cake. Repeat, then top with a dollop of cream, a bit of zest and the extra cake crumbs
