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

  • Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe mold or ice cream pan and cover with plastic wrap.

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.
