You must use a sugar thermometer for this parfait. An electric mixer for the final stage is also desirable, since the caramel should be continuously whisked until it has cooled significantly, prior to the inclusion of the cream.

Ingredients

  • 225 g/ 8 oz caster sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 575

Method
