Raspberry And Chambord Cream Parfait Recipes

RASPBERRY & CREAM PARFAITS

Steps:

• Have 4 wineglasses or glass dessert cups at hand.
• Combine the cream cheese, liqueur, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy and lump-free, about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the heavy cream and start beating on low speed (so it doesn't splash), then increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thickened to a pudding-like consistency, about 2 minutes.
• Distribute half of the raspberries among the bottom of the glasses or dessert cups, then distribute two-thirds of the cream mixture so that it covers the berries in each portion. Distribute the remaining berries evenly among the glasses or dessert cups, gently placing them on the layer of cream. Spoon equal amounts of the remaining cream on top of each portion. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 4 hours. Garnish each serving with a mint sprig and serve.
• Make Ahead: The cream mixture can be made and refrigerated a day in advance. Assemble the parfaits up to 4 hours before serving.
• Note: It's okay to leave out the liqueur if you are avoiding alcohol.

RASPBERRY AND CHAMBORD CREAM PARFAIT

Steps:

• COMPOTE:.
• In a small saucepan over medium low heat add raspberries, sugar, vanilla pulp, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Stir the mixture, occasionally, and cook until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
• CHAMBORD CREAM:.
• Add icing sugar to the whipped cream and continue to whip it until it holds firm peaks.
• Fold in sour cream and Chambord. Fold 2 spoonsfull of the compote into the Chambord cream.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Put a layer of Chambord cream into the bottom of 4 parfait glasses. (If you don't have parfait glasses be creative and use martini glasses or champagne flutes ~ you will have less per person ~ but you will be able to make more servings.).
• Add a layer of the raspberry compote and then repeat the process one more time, so there are 4 layers.
• Finish with a dollop of the cream and garnish with fresh raspberries, cookie and a sprig of mint, if using.

RASPBERRY-CHAMBORD SORBET

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over high heat.
• Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is simmering, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. (You should have about 1/2 cup syrup.).
• In a mixing bowl, combine the warm syrup with the raspberry puree, Chambord and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and then let mixture cool to room temperature.
• For faster freezing, transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to chill there first.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• When ready to serve, place the sorbet in a pretty dessert cup, parfait glasses, or even champagne flutes; with macadamia nut cookies, and a sprig of mint.
• Voila!
