Instructions
- Gather the necessary tools and all the ingredients
Pâte à Bombe Preparation
- Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and put on the heat.
- Put the egg yolks in the mixing bowl.
- When the sugar syrup reaches 110°C start mixing the egg yolks. Meanwhile, allow the sugar syrup to heat further to 118°C.
Merging with Eigelen
- Pour the hot sugar syrup into the beating egg yolks in a thin stream. Be sure to keep whisking to prevent clotting.
- Add the grated orange zest and the Triple Sec.
- Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and cools to room temperature. This is your pâte à bombe.
Composing the Parfait
- Carefully stir the cooled pâte à bombe into the whipped cream. Do this in parts, making sure to keep the lightness.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe mold or ice cream pan and cover with plastic wrap.
Freezing
- Place the parfait in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
Marzipan Preparation
- Roll out the marzipan with the desired pattern from a mat. Shape it later around the parfait as a decorative finish.
Whipped cream finishing
- Just before serving, beat the 150 ml whipping cream together with the powdered sugar to firm peaks.
- Add some finely grated orange zest for a fresh touch.
- Pipe whipped cream along the bottom edge of the parfait to fill the open space and give an elegant finish.
Serve
- Remove the parfait from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Unmold the parfait and apply any prepared marzipan around the sides.
- Further decorate with some extra orange zest or a thin slice of orange.
Tips
- Preparation tip: You can prepare the marzipan earlier and store it airtight so you can quickly apply it before serving.
- Variation: Replace the Triple Sec with Grand Marnier for a more intense orange flavor or choose another liqueur such as Cointreau.
