A wonderful dessert that combines the lightness of parfait and the taste of meringue. Making a cake is not difficult at all, but it will take time to freeze to make. Serve the cake with tea or sweet white wine.
Base ingredients:
- Butter - 20 g;
- Fresh bread crumbs - 2 tablespoons;
- Ground almonds - 150 g;
- Egg whites - 5 pcs;
- Powdered sugar - 200 g.
Dessert Ingredients:
- Egg yolks - 4 pcs;
- Gelatin - 10 g;
- Granulated sugar - 85 g;
- Water - 100 g;
- Heavy cream - 400 g.
Preparation:
- To bake a parfait cake, you need to put the oven on preheat, the approximate temperature is 170 degrees. Grease the cake pan with butter and then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Soak gelatin in cold water until transparent grains form.
- Beat the egg whites together with the powdered sugar to form firm scallops. Add ground almonds to the mixture and stir. Put the mixture in a baking dish and bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes. Chill the base of the cake directly in the mold.
- To prepare the parfait, beat eggs, sugar and water over low heat to thicken the mixture. Remove from heat. Pour ice water into a large saucepan and lower the container of parfait into it. It is important for the parfait to cool quickly. Stir frequently while the mixture cools.
- Squeeze the gelatin and melt over low heat. If the gelatin does not melt, then add a few more drops of water. Pour gelatin into the sweet cream parfait with a thin stream, whipping.
- Beat the cream and mix it with the sweet cream. Stir everything well.
- Place the parfait on an almond base (it should still be in shape) and refrigerate for a few hours.
- You need to get the cake out of the refrigerator half an hour before serving. Decorate with almond shavings.
