A solemn dessert shaped like a military base, with clear, sober layers and a strategic touch.
A precisely layered parfait with white chocolate and mint on a dark base, shaped as a minimalist military base: a rectangular 'bunker' with a slanted green strip as 'radar', referencing the US expansion in Greenland.
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 150 g bastogne biscuits (or spiced cookies)
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 100 g white chocolate
- 2 eggs
- 60 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- 4 long green candy strips (e.g., sour belts, for the 'radar')
Method
- Line a 20x10 cm loaf tin with baking paper.
- Melt the butter and crumble the cookies. Mix and press firmly into the tin as a base. Chill.
- Whisk eggs and sugar over a bain-marie until creamy.
- Melt the white chocolate and fold into the egg mixture. Let cool slightly.
- Whip the cream with vanilla extract until stiff and fold into the mixture.
- Pour half the parfait mixture over the cookie base. Melt the dark chocolate and swirl through. Add the rest of the parfait mixture.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Cut into four rectangular blocks ('bunkers'). Place a green candy strip diagonally on each as 'radar'. Garnish with a mint leaf.
- Serve on a white plate, keeping lines sharp.
Serving notes
- Arrange the blocks in a straight line for a base effect.
- Serve without extra garnish for a solemn look.
