Parfait Layer Recipe

French · Dessert · 25 min total

A classic French parfait layer made with creamy custard and whipped cream, perfect for layering in a parfait glass with fruits and granola.

Ingredients

• 2 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
2. In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just simmering. Gradually whisk hot milk into egg mixture.
3. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
4. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
5. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks.
6. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chilled custard until combined. Reserve remaining whipped cream for topping.
7. To assemble parfaits, layer the custard mixture with fruits and granola in glasses, finishing with a dollop of reserved whipped cream.

Tips

• Make sure custard does not boil to prevent curdling.
• Parfait layers can be made a day ahead and assembled just before serving.
• Use fresh berries or sliced peaches for best flavor.
