Maple And Walnut Parfait~

Recipe By : Sophie Grigson, Style,The Sunday Times, September 29, 1996
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Ice Cream

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
60 Walnuts
1 Egg White
1 Pinch Salt
200 Milliliters Maple Syrup
240 Milliliters Double Cream

Spread out the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 200 C/ 400 F
/
gas mark 6 for about 5 minutes until browned. Tip into a wire sieve and shake
off all the loosened, papery skin. Cool and chop roughly.

Heat the maple syrup to boiling point. Meanwhile, whisk the egg white with the
salt until it forms soft peaks. Gradually pour in the very hot syrup, whisking
constantly. Continue whisking until you have a thick, stiff meringue. Use an
electric whisk if you have one. Leave to cool.

Beat the cream until stiff, then fold into the maple meringue. Finally fold in
the nuts. Spoon into a dish and freeze. Transfer to the fridge to soften for
half an hour before serving.

NOTES : This is a spectacularly good light, frozen mousse. Maple syrup and
walnuts go very well together, though you could substitute pecan nuts.

Title: Mint Sorbet
Categories: Veg-cook, August
Yield: 1 servings

6 lg Sprigs of mint
6 T Sugar
1 1/4 c Water
Juice of one large lemon
1 Egg white
4 Sprigs mint to decorate

Wash the mint and shake it dry. Heat the sugar and water together until the
sugar is melted. Add the mint and leave it to steep in the sugar syrup off
the heat for about twenty minutes to half an hour. Taste it to see if the
mint taste has developed enough. If it’s not strong enough you can reheat
the mixture to the boil again and then let it stand for another ten
minutes.

When it tastes about right to you, strain the liquid into a rigid container
and add the lemon juice. Leave to cool, then freeze until it’s semi-frozen
(about 45 minutes to an hour). Beat the egg white until it’s stiff enough
to stand up in peaks (an electric whisk is good for this) and fold it
gently into the semi-frozen mixture. Return to the freezer for about an
hour. By this time it should have formed a fairly firm mush. Spoon it into
glasses and decorate with the mint sprigs. You can vary this recipe by
using grapefruit juice instead of lemon and using a bit less water and a
bit less mint.
