Calvados Apple & Ricotta Parfait
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
The apple brandy makes this recipe rich and delicious, but if you prefer not to use alcohol, substitute with apple cider and a drop or two of good-quality vanilla extract.
Directions
Yield: Serves 6
Make Ricotta Cream
- Using electric mixer, in large bowl beat whipping cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in ricotta, lemon juice, zest and vanilla until combined. Reserve in fridge.
Cook Apples
- Core and slice apples into 1-inch pieces, leaving skin on.
- In large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with honey. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture turns an amber colour and is foamy, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in apples. Reduce heat to medium and partially cover skillet. Let simmer until apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove lid and add Calvados, lemon juice and salt. Cook 3 to 4 more minutes, or until liquid has turned syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.
Assemble & Serve
- In each of 6 serving glasses, spoon two heaping spoonfuls of apples, then add 3 heaping tablespoons of ricotta and top with remaining apples.
- Serve each parfait with puff pastry cookie.
