Recipe: Frozen chocolate chip parfait

1 Wrap the meringues in a clean kitchen towel, then crush them into crumbs using the flat of a knife and place everything in a large bowl.

2 Pour your cream into a container and place in the freezer for 8 minutes. Remove it, then whip with an electric whisk if possible until you have stiff whipped cream.

3 Using a wooden spatula, fold the crushed meringues into the whipped cream with a cutting and lifting motion, then fold in the chocolate chips the same way.

4 Pour into a loaf mold (silicone or flexipan), then place in the freezer for 6 hours.

5 One hour before serving, remove your mold and place it in the refrigerator, then prepare your chocolate sauce. In a saucepan, heat the water and cream, then at the first boil, remove from heat and stir in the chocolate shavings with a whisk, add the syrup or mint liqueur, then keep warm in a bain-marie.

6 Dip your mold in hot water for 10 seconds, then unmold the parfait onto your work surface. Cut into 6 thick slices or 12 thinner ones using a knife dipped in hot water between each cut.

7 Serve on nice cold plates with the hot chocolate poured all around and extra in a sauceboat.

8 This is a simple dessert you can transform as you like, for example with a red fruit coulis around it or English cream, etc.

9 Of course, you can make your own meringues, the recipe is on the site.
