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.
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.
