ELVIS-INSPIRED PEANUT BUTTER "BRUNCH" PARFAIT



Elvis-Inspired Peanut Butter

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h5m

Yield 6 parfaits

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
6 slices bacon
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
15 butter waffle cookies, such as Jules Destrooper, lightly crushed (about 2 cups)
3 small bananas, sliced into rounds about 1/8-inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat 2 3/4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium until hot but not boiling. Whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, and then gradually whisk the egg mixture into the heated milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill until set, at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack set on the middle shelf. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the bacon on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Brush both sides of the bacon with the maple syrup. Bake until golden brown and slightly crispy, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes. Place on the lined baking sheet and cool completely. The bacon will continue to crisp as it cools. Break each piece of cooled bacon in half.
  • Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer to soft to medium peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To assemble, loosen the chilled pudding by whisking it until smooth and creamy. Spoon 1/4 cup of the pudding into the bottom of a 10- to 12-ounce glass. Layer in this order: 1/4 cup crushed waffle cookies, half of a sliced banana, 1/4 cup whipped cream, 1/4 cup pudding and a light sprinkle of additional crushed waffle cookies. Top each parfait with a dollop of the remaining whipped cream and 2 bacon halves.

PEANUT BUTTER PARFAIT WITH CHERRY COMPOTE



Peanut butter parfait with cherry compote image

This light and sumptuous frozen dessert bar by Jason Atherton is technically tricky but worth it for the stunning finish

Provided by Jason Atherton

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

100g smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
75ml double cream
250g caster sugar
4 eggs , 2 left whole and 2 separated
175g whipping cream , semi-whipped
500g cherry , stoned
100g granulated sugar
1 tbsp Armagnac or brandy
squeeze lemon juice

Steps:

  • Line a 1.2-litre loaf tin with cling film. Whisk together the peanut butter, liqueur and double cream to a smooth paste.
  • To make a sabayon, put 150g of the sugar, the whole eggs and egg yolks in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk with an electric hand whisk for 5-7 mins or until the mixture is light and mousse-like, then remove from the heat and continue to whisk for 5 mins until cool. Set aside.
  • Put the remaining sugar in a small saucepan with 3 tbsp water, heat gently to dissolve, then boil for 2 mins until the temperature reaches 115C on a sugar thermometer. Meanwhile, in a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, stream in the sugar syrup and continue to beat until the egg white mixture is just stiff and shiny. (It is important that the sugar syrup goes into the egg white at the right temperature, so you may need an extra pair of hands for this.)
  • Fold the egg white mixture into the peanut butter mixture, then fold in the whipping cream and finally the sabayon. Pour into the tin and freeze for 6 hrs or until solid, or up to 2 weeks. Pour any leftover parfait into individual ramekins or dariole moulds and keep in the freezer.
  • To make the cherry compote, put the cherries in a large frying pan, add 100ml water, cook for 10 mins to soften, then add the sugar, Armagnac or brandy and lemon juice. Cook for a further 8-10 mins until syrupy, then allow to cool. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.
  • Take the parfait from the freezer 10 mins before you wish to serve, remove the cling film and cut into slices. Carefully place 1 slice of parfait on each of 6 dessert plates and serve with the cherry compote.
