Ingredients
150 grams of white chocolate in tablets,
250 grams of liquid cream,
2 eggs,
3 tablespoons of sugar,
1 tablespoon of grated orange peel,
1 tablespoon of orange juice,
250 grams of red fruit,
50 grams of refined sugar,
For decoration: fresh mint leafs
- Preparation time: 25 minutes
- Cooling time: at least 4-6 hours
Preparation
- Shred or crush the chocolate. Empty the liquid cream in a recipient and heat at a low fire with out letting it boil. Add the liquid cream with the shredded chocolate. Remove it when it breaks. Remove the recipient from the fire and let it cool off.
- Prepare the double boil in the following way: fill a short recipient that has a wide mouth with 1/3 cup of water of the recipient’s capacity. Heat the water until it boils. Meanwhile, separate the yoke from the egg whites. Save the egg whites in the refrigerator. Beat the egg yoke with the entire second egg and with the sugar until you obtain a clear cream.
- Put the recipient that contains the cream to double boil, which will need to be stirred constantly until it thickens. Take the recipient from the double boil. Add the whipped cream with the chocolate and then add in the orange juice.
- Beat the egg white until it becomes stiff. Mix it carefully into the Parfait paste.
- With cold water wet a crowned shaped mold or several individual molds. Fill the mold with the parfait paste and put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 6 hours. The time of refrigeration will depend on how big the mold is. If you are planning on using individual molds four hours will be more then enough time.
- To decorate, you will need to wash and rinse the red fruit and will need to be kept until the moment you serve the parfait. You may also mix in the sugar.
- Twenty minutes before you serve the parfait take it out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator so that the mold comes out easier. The parfait can be served whole or can be divided into portions on desserts plates. Garnish with the red fruit, glassed sugar and mint leaves.
