Ingredients
250 ml milk
1 vanilla pod cut open
9 egg yolks
300 g caster sugar
150 ml green Chartreuse liqueur
450 ml whipped cream
a selection of red fruits or other fresh fruits, for garnish
a little icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
In a medium saucepan heat the milk with the vanilla pod.
Beat the egg yolks with the caster sugar for at least 1 minute until well combined.
Whisk in the hot milk and transfer back to the saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens just slightly and coats the spoon. The custard must not boil or it will split.
Transfer the custard to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with the whisk attachment for about 10 minutes until it doubles in volume and has cooled.
Mix in 100 ml of green Chartreuse and fold in the whipped cream.
Pour a little of the remaining Chartreuse into 10 glasses and top with the parfait preparation. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
Garnish the top of each parfait with a selection of red fruits and dust with icing sugar.
