200g      Sugar

300g      Papaya Purée

450g      Whipped Cream

Methodology:

  1. Using a standing mixer or handheld mixer, whip cream to a soft peak and set it aside in the chiller.
  2. To make Pâté à bombe, place egg yolks in a mixing bowl and whip until pale with a standing mixer. Meanwhile, heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until syrup reaches 121°C.
  3. Pour the hot syrup into the whipping eggs in a slow, steady stream by the side of the mixing bowl, whisking continuously until cool.
  4. Once cool, fold in the papaya purée, follow by the whipped cream.
  5. Transfer mixture into a 32cmX42cm rectangular mould and leave in the freezer or blast freezer to set.
  6. Once set, unmould parfait and cut into the desired size.  (In this dessert, measurement is 3.5cmX4cm.)

Bon Parfait everyone!
