Kiwifruit, Passionfruit & Lime Curd Cream Parfait Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
300ml double thick cream
½ cup lime curd
3 kiwifruit, peeled, diced
6 meringue nests, crushed
4 passionfruit (you’ll need ½ cup fresh pulp)
2 kiwifruit, peeled, sliced (extra)
Lime Curd (Makes 2½ cups)
7 egg yolks
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup lime juice (from 8 large limes)
125g diced butter
Method
To make the Lime Curd, Whisk the egg yolks, caster sugar lime juice in a large heatproof bowl. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the base of the bowl. Gradually add butter to egg mixture, constantly whisking until melted and well combined. Continue to stir with a wooden spoon for 15–20 minutes or until curd thickens. (Don’t allow to boil or get too hot.) Cool for 5 minutes. Reserve ½ cup lime curd for the parfait. Spoon remainder into a sterilised jar. Secure lid when cold and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Combine cream and lime curd in a bowl. Spoon 1 tbsp diced kiwifruit into each of 4 parfait glasses. Top with lime curd cream and meringue. Spoon over a little passionfruit.
Repeat, forming another layer in each glass and finishing with passionfruit. Put slices of kiwifruit (extra) on top of each parfait. Serve immediately.
