Two parfaits as a duo, divided by an icy raspberry stripe: scandal in dessert form.
Two parfaits side by side as a duo, separated by a thin icy raspberry coulis layer. Neat and classic outside, with a sharp, tart sting inside. The plating refers to the two departing FBI top men and their frosty relationship.
Ingredients
- 400 ml whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 100 g sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 150 g raspberries (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 8 ladyfingers
- 1 tbsp vodka (optional)
Method
- Line a loaf tin with plastic wrap.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Beat the egg yolks with sugar until pale yellow.
- Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds, and add to the egg mixture.
- Fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture.
- Divide the parfait mixture into two equal portions.
- Pour one portion into the loaf tin, smooth, and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Puree the raspberries with lemon juice and powdered sugar into a coulis.
- Strain the coulis for a smooth sauce.
- Remove the tin from the freezer, pour a thin layer of coulis over the first parfait layer, and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Pour the second parfait portion on top, smooth, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Briefly soak the ladyfingers in vodka (or water) and place as 'feet' under the two parfait halves when serving.
- Turn out the parfait, cut into two equal rectangles, and place side by side on a plate with a stripe of raspberry coulis in between.
Serving notes
- Serve the parfaits tightly together with the raspberry stripe as an icy border.
- Garnish with an extra dollop of raspberry coulis for extra sharpness.
