Combine all ingredients (except butter) in a saucepan. Heat over low heat until boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add butter and strain to remove lumps. Set aside.

Add the mascarpone (or 1/2 ricotta + 1/2 double cream, if not available) to the sugar/yolk mixture. Add the mandarin orange peel, then gently fold in the whites. Set aside.

Soak each madeleine/butter biscuit or other biscuit well in the Morand mandarin syrup.
Then arrange a layer of biscuit in your glasses, a layer of mascarpone cream and finish with the mandarin curd.Set aside in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!
