Preparation Steps
1
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler: Place the chocolate in a bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
2
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted dark chocolate to the egg yolk mixture and stir until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip it.
4
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate egg yolk mixture in batches, being mindful to maintain the light and airy texture.
5
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or a silicone mold and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight for the flavors to meld together even better.
6
Before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer 5 minutes beforehand to make it easier to slice. Use a knife dipped in warm water to easily cut through the parfait.
