Fast Desserts Recipes - Biscotti and Coffee Parfait

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 ml) cream

  • 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Kahlua

  • 8 scoops coffee ice cream

  • 150 g packet almond biscotti, chopped

  • 1/3 cup (50 g) Vienna almonds, chopped


Method:

  1. Whisk the cream and sugar in a large bowl until the cream has thickened slightly. Add the Kahlua and whisk again until well mixed together.

  2. Place one scoop of the ice cream in each of four parfait glasses or 1 1/2 cup (375 ml) glass tumblers. Divide half of the chopped biscotti among the glasses, then add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Kahlua-cream mixture

  3. Top with the remaining biscotti, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream mixture and a final scoop of the ice cream. Sprinkle with the chopped Vienna almonds and serve immediately before the ice cream melts.

Note: The traditional French parfait is flavored with coffee, but it is now made with chocolate, fruit, vanilla, liqueurs and even praline.
