A parfait as a reopened oil pipeline: sleek, long, and solemn on the plate.
Long chocolate rolls form a straight pipeline across the plate. The parfait symbolizes Libya's reopened oil pipeline. Dark sauce below refers to oil, while a sandy crumble evokes the desert. Solemn, sleek, and unmistakably a dessert with a news story.
Ingredients
- 500 ml whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 8 long chocolate biscuits (e.g. cigarillos)
- 100 g Bastogne biscuits
- 25 g butter
- 50 ml coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey
Method
- Whip the cream until stiff and chill.
- Beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and creamy.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and stir in the cocoa powder.
- Mix the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.
- Carefully fold in the whipped cream.
- Line a loaf tin with plastic wrap and pour in the parfait mixture. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Crumble the Bastogne biscuits and mix with melted butter and honey for a rough crumble.
- Let the parfait thaw briefly, then cut into long rectangular pieces.
- Draw a thick line of chocolate sauce or coffee liqueur across the plate.
- Place a strip of crumble across the plate as 'desert'.
- Lay the parfait pieces in a straight line over the sauce, forming a pipeline.
- Place the chocolate biscuits at each end as extra pipeline sections.
Serving notes
- Serve aligned and neat, without extra decoration.
- Keep the crumble only beneath the 'pipeline', not over it.
