Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the fresh blackberries and set them aside in a bowl.
2
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until you get a light and fluffy cream.
3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the water. When it starts to boil, add the blackberries and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the fruit softens and the juice thickens slightly.
4
Strain the cooked blackberry puree to remove the seeds. Pour the thick juice into the egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly. Then, place the bowl over a double boiler and continue to stir until the mixture thickens slightly.
5
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It's important that the cream is cold for easier whipping.
6
Slowly and gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk and blackberry mixture. Using a spatula, be careful not to deflate the cream and maintain a light and airy texture.
7
Pour the mixture into a bowl or silicone mold and place it in the freezer. Freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, but the flavors will meld even better if left to rest overnight.
8
5 minutes before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer to make it easier to slice. You can easily cut the parfait with a knife dipped in warm water.
