Nothing beats a truly delicious, home made parfait. Serve it with a rich mocha sauce and you have a hit. Fresh berries with this is just so good.

Serves 4 to 5

Vanilla parfait:

4 egg yolks
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
1 ¼ cup heavy cream

Mocha sauce:

1/3 cup cocoa
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 oz butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Decoration:

chopped nuts

Parfait:
Beat egg yolks and powdered sugar until white and fluffy. Blend in the vanilla sugar. Beat the cream until thick, turn it into the egg batter and freeze for at least 5 to 6 hours.

Sauce:

Beat together cocoa, cream, sugar, brown sugar and coffee in a saucepan. Let the sauce boil for a couple of minutes on low heat while stirring. Beat in the fat and flavour with vanilla sugar.

When serving, thaw the parfait for about 30 minutes, then spoon it up into serving bowls or in a larger bowl. Pour some hot or cold mocha sauce over it and decorate with chopped nuts. Serve remaining sauce separately.

Enjoy!
