1-1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) whipping cream
1 strip (about 2 inches/ 5 cm) orange peel
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
Pinch salt
4 bars (100 g each) good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt), chopped
1/4 tsp (1 mL) vanilla
Blueberry Swirl:
1/4 cup (50 mL) blueberry jam
1 tsp (5 mL) orange liqueur or water

In saucepan, heat together milk, cream and orange peel over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat; cover and steep for 10 minutes. Discard orange peel.
In large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and sa< slowly whisk in cream mixture. Return to pan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 8 minutes.
Add white chocolate and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Strain into 9-inch (2.5 L) square metal cake pan. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; refrigerate until cold, about 1-1/2 hours.
Freeze until almost solid, about 1-1/2 hours. Break up and purée in food processor until smooth. (Or freeze in ice-cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.)
Blueberry Swirl: Press jam through fine sieve into small bowl; stir in orange liqueur. Scrape one-quarter of the ice cream into airtight container; drizzle with one-third of the blueberry mixture, swirling slightly with spoon. Repeat twice with remaining ice cream and sauce. Cover with remaining ice cream. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Freeze for up to 1 week.)
