Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Clementines
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 whole Digestive biscuits
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 6 whole Mint leaves
Instructions
Peel the clementines and blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth to create a puree. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the strained clementine puree with the granulated sugar and Greek yogurt until well combined. Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled clementine mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spoon the clementine mixture into individual serving glasses or jars, stopping halfway up each one. Place these in the freezer for 1 hour to set slightly.
Meanwhile, crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the biscuit crumbs until it resembles wet sand.
Remove the glasses from the freezer and add an even layer of the biscuit crumble on top of each parfait. Press lightly to compact them.
Layer the remaining clementine mixture on top of the biscuit crumble. Return the glasses to the freezer for another 2 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, let the parfaits sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh mint leaf for an elegant touch.
