Method
1
Cook the sauce. Put the raspberries and 20g caster sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down.
2
Strain and cool. Push the sauce through a fine sieve and discard the seeds. Transfer to a small bowl, press cling film directly onto the surface and leave to cool completely.
3
Line the tin. Lightly grease a 20 x 8 x 5cm loaf tin and line it with a double layer of cling film, leaving enough overhang to lift out the frozen parfait.
4
Whisk the yolks. Beat the egg yolks, 50g caster sugar and vanilla paste in a stand mixer until thick, pale and increased in volume.
5
Build the base. Whip the double cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the yolk mixture. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then fold them in carefully to preserve as much air as possible. Fold through the chopped pistachios.
6
Layer and freeze. Spoon a layer of parfait into the tin, then add a little raspberry sauce and a drizzle of Sweet Sesame Butter Tahini Sauce. Repeat until the tin is filled, cover and freeze overnight until firm.
7
Serve. Invert the parfait onto a serving plate and peel away the cling film. Leave it to soften for a few minutes, then finish with fresh raspberries, chopped pistachios, mint and another drizzle of Sweet Sesame Butter Tahini Sauce.
🌿 Med Cuisine Tip: Make sure the raspberry sauce is completely cold before layering so it does not deflate the parfait. For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
