Salted caramel & pecan Fudge iced parfait with candied pecans

Ingredients

For the parfait

200g salted Salted caramel and pecan fudge from roly’s fudge

300ml double cream

2 large, free-range egg white

Squeeze of lemon juice

80g caster sugar

 

For the pate a bombe

100ml water

150g caster sugar

5 large free-range egg yolks

 

For the salted caramel sauce

200g granulated sugar

90g salted butter (at room temperature and cut into six)

120ml double cream

1tsp sea salt flakes

 

Candied pecan nuts (for serving)

 

Method

To make the pate a bombe

1. Dissolve the sugar in a medium-sized saucepan with 100ml of water. When clear, bring to the boil and place a sugar thermometer in the pan.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with an electric mixer until creamy. When the sugar syrup reaches 120ºC, remove from the heat at once.
3. Keeping the mixer beaters running, drizzle the syrup on to the yolks and beat, on full speed, for three to five minutes, until there is a firm, yellow foam.
4. Remove and cool, whisking occasionally.

To make the parfait

1. Whisk the egg whites and lemon juice in a bowl until softly stiff, then gradually whisk in the sugar until it becomes a smooth, glossy meringue. Whip the cream in another bowl until softly stiff.
2. Fold the meringue into the pate a bombe mix, then fold in the whipped cream.
3. Finally, crumble 200g of the fudge into the parfait mix, leaving 50g to one side to use as a garnish.
4. Spoon into eight to ten moulds and freeze until firm.

To make the sauce

1. Heat the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, immediately add the butter.
3. Stir into the caramel for about two to three minutes, until melted.
4. Very slowly, drizzle in the cream while stirring.
5. Allow the mixture to boil for one minutes. It will rise in the pan as it boils.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the salt. Allow to cool before using.

To serve, garnish with some candied pecan nuts and crumbled fudge.
