Easy and quick to prepare the day before.

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• 50g sugar
• 1 tbsp. of honey
• 2cl or rum, cognac or brandy
• 100g dried lebkuchen (or gingerbread), broken up
• 1 tsp. of lebkuchen spices
• Some cinnamon Zest of half a lemon
• 300g whipped cream

Preparation

• Place the egg yolks, sugar and honey into a hot water-bath and mix well until the volume has doubled in amount and the egg yolks are thoroughly mixed.
• You may need to remove the water-bath from the heat frequently as it may get too hot.
• Add the Cognac, spices and crumbed Lebkuchen, allow to dry and then add the whipped cream in two stages and slowly mix.
• Place the mixture in little portion forms or alternatively use coffee cups or a muffin tray. Place in the freezer for 5 hours, or even better, until the next day.

Serving suggestion

• Place the portion forms or muffin tray in hot water, to loosen the frozen parfaits.
• Please note: An iced parfait is at it’s best if served not too cold, so perhaps remove the parfaits from their forms and allow to stand for a few minutes before serving them to your guests.
• Serve with red wine and cinnamon soaked plumbs or cherries.
