Orderly parfait bars as seat rows: the Swedish Riksdag in dessert form, ready for the result.
A formal dessert of stacked parfait bars and red currants, mimicking the voting rows in the Swedish Riksdag. Each bar represents a seat: white and red, left and right. The whole is neatly aligned on the plate, just like the day's decisive election result.
Ingredients
- 400 ml heavy cream
- 4 eggs
- 120 g sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 100 g red currants
- 100 g white chocolate
- 1 lemon (zest)
- 8 ladyfingers
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
Method
- Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale yellow.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla seeds until stiff.
- Mix the Greek yogurt and lemon zest into the egg yolk mixture.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Roughly chop the white chocolate and mix it in.
- Line a rectangular cake tin with parchment paper. Place a layer of ladyfingers on the bottom.
- Pour in the parfait mixture and smooth the top.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Remove the parfait from the tin and cut into 8 equal bars.
- On each plate, place two bars neatly side by side, as seat rows.
- Garnish one bar with red currants (center-left), leave the other plain white (right).
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar for a formal effect.
Serving notes
- Serve the bars perfectly straight, with the red and white clearly separated.
- Use a black plate for extra contrast.
- Arrange the currants in neat rows, like votes in a voting booth.
