Ingredients
For the Base:
6
giant ladyfinger cookies, cut into tiny pieces
For the Simple Syrup:
½
cup
water
½
cup
sugar
2
tablespoon
Meyer lemon juice
For the Curd:
2
tablespoons
Meyer lemon zest
5
egg yolks
¾
cup
sugar
¾
cup
Meyer lemon juice
5
tablespoons
butter
For the Garnish:
1
cup
heavy cream
2
tablespoons
confectioners’ sugar
Meyer lemon zest, optional
Instructions
For the Base:
Cut cookies into tiny pieces. Place evenly in the bottom of glasses. I use 12 shot glasses.
For the Simple Syrup:
Mix all in the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool.
Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons into each glass. If desired, pipe a layer of whipped cream on this layer. Store any leftover syrup in the fridge.
For the Curd:
Add Meyer lemon zest, Meyer lemon juice, sugar and yolks to a medium saucepan. Whisk.
Cook over a medium low heat, adding butter right away. Whisk until thick, about 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool a bit before adding to shot glasses.
Spoon or pipe into glasses evenly. Refrigerate for about an hour or two.
For the Garnish:
Combine the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar in large bowl. Using an electric mixxer, whip until fluffy.
Transfer to a piping tip with a star tip. Pipe onto top of parfaits. Garnish with Meyer lemon zest if desired.
Serve the parfaits immediately or pop back in the fridge until you need them.
Notes
Parfaits can be made in larger dessert bowls, if desired, for fewer desserts.
