Preparation

Parfait

  1. Submerge gelatine sheets in liquid for 5 minutes/until the sheets become a malleable, springy, jelly-like mass.
  2. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and melted Original Beans. Yuna 37% With the mixer running, slowly add 100g sugar into the chocolate mixture.
  3. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Fold the 30% cream into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rings on the sheet. Tape a strip of parchment paper around each ring to create a ‘collar’, rising 2.5cm above the rim. Divide the chocolate mixture among the rings with a thickness of 1 cm.
  5. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
