Cup of Yum
Licorice Parfait:
- In a small saucepan combine the cream & licorice & heat gently, without boiling, until the licorice is very soft.
- Blend the mixture in a food processor until well combined & pour through a fine sieve to strain out the tiny pieces of licorice.
- Set aside to cool.
- In a stainless steel bowl over a large saucepan of gently simmering water, make a sabayon by whisking together the eggs, yolk, glucose, sugar & pernod until the mixture turns pale & fluffy.
- Remove from heat & continue whisking until it cools a little.
- Fold half of the sabayon into the licorice mixture.
- Once combined, fold in the remaining sabayon until well combined.
- Pour into individual moulds, or 1 log shaped tin, & freeze.
To Serve:
- Lower the moulds into hot water for a few seconds before turning out the parfait.
- You can either pour over the lime syrup, or serve it on the table in a jug.
- Garnish with lime segments.
