Instructions

  1. Put the almonds and pistachios in a dry pan, dust with powdered sugar and caramelize lightly, leave to cool on a plate.
  2. Bring 180 g of sugar and 50 ml of water to the boil in a saucepan. Beat the egg yolks, eggs and vanilla pulp until frothy. Add the still hot sugar syrup while stirring and continue beating until a thick, frothy, cold mixture has formed. Beat the egg white with the rest of the sugar and honey to a firm snow. Pull the stiff cream under the egg whites. Stir 1/3 of this mixture into the foam mixture, fold in the rest with the almonds, pistachios, cherries and chocolate.
  3. Line a 1.5 liter loaf tin with cling film, fill with the mixture and smooth the surface. Let the foam mass freeze completely in the freezer.
  4. Take out of the frozen food about 30 minutes before serving and temper the parfait in the refrigerator, cut into slices and serve on plates.
