lemon & orange parfait

nigel slater's lemon & orange parfait www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/mar/07/nigel-slater...

a dessert with oodles of calories but delicious :)

 

500ml double cream whisked until soft and thick

8 tbsp lemon curd (homemade) www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lemon_curd_68499

180g meringue (homemade) broken into pieces of various sizes flic.kr/p/2oapKrK

orange and lemon zest

 

all ingredients gently mixed together being careful not to overmix

spooned into a lined container

placed in freezer for minimum of four hours (can be kept in freezer for much longer)

finally, 30 minutes before serving, frozen lemon & orange parfait removed from the freezer

 

in the freezer, made from the same batch of ingredients, is another lemon & orange parfait the same size as above. maybe i should have halved the ingredients never mind it won't last long :)

 

notes

next time i'll try making it with natural yoghurt 10% cream www.aytacfood.co.uk/product/aytac-strained-yoghurt-1-kg/

once both lemon & orange parfaits are frozen, cut into slices, box and return to the freezer, each slice to be eaten as and when
