Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Parfait
1 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups chilled whipping cream
1/4 cup Cognac or brandy
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Fruit compote
2 oranges
2 cups quartered hulled strawberries (about 12 ounces)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup seedless grapes, halved
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Make parfait:
  • Using handheld electric mixer, beat sugar, egg yolks, corn syrup, and orange juice in large metal bowl to blend. Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Beat until thermometer registers 160°F and parfait base is thick and billowy, about 8 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Continue to beat until parfait base is cool, about 7 minutes.
  • In another large bowl, beat cream, Cognac, and vanilla until peaks form. Fold cream into parfait base in 3 additions. Transfer parfait to medium bowl, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Make fruit compote:
  • Using small sharp knife, cut all peel and pith from oranges. Working over large bowl, cut between membranes, releasing orange segments into bowl. Mix in remaining ingredients. Let stand at least 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to 3 hours, tossing occasionally.
  • Assemble parfaits:
  • Scoop parfait into goblets. Spoon fruit compote over and serve.

I'm allergic to cognac. Is there a substitute I can use?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my parfait turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The flavor was good, but the texture was off.

This frozen cognac parfait was a disappointment. The texture was icy and the cognac flavor was overpowering. The fruit compote was also too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.
