Strawberry Mascarpone Parfait
Spoonsparrow: We transform fresh summer fruit into a super delicious and creamy strawberry parfait with mascarpone!
Ingredients
- 500 g strawberries
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 100 g Mascarpone
- 3 eggs
- 50 g caster sugar
- 100 g whipping cream
Instructions
-
1.
Wash and dry the strawberries, then remove stems. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt over a hot water bath.
-
2.
Take about 100 g of strawberries, coat them halfway with melted chocolate, and place on parchment paper to dry.
-
3.
Cut another 100 g of berries into small pieces and set aside. Place the remaining strawberries in a tall mixing bowl, puree with an immersion blender, strain through a fine sieve, and whisk in mascarpone until smooth.
-
4.
Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks in a metal bowl over a hot water bath with caster sugar to form a pale frothy mixture. Then place the bowl in ice water, stirring occasionally, until it cools.
-
5.
Fold the cold egg yolk mixture into the strawberry puree. Whisk the egg whites and cream separately until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the strawberry mixture.
-
6.
Pour the cream into a rectangular cake tin and cover. Freeze for about 3 hours.
-
7.
Just before serving, briefly dip the tin in hot water, pour the parfait onto a plate, cut into triangular pieces, and garnish with chocolate strawberries and fresh strawberry chunks.
