Ingredients:

1 cup raspberries
130g
2 egg whites
63g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 cups white chocolate
460g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Raspberry Sauce:
a. Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
b. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
2. Make Meringue:
a. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
b. Gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
3. Prepare Whipped Cream:
a. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
b. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold Meringue and Whipped Cream:
a. Gently fold the meringue into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula, being careful to retain the light and airy texture.
5. Create Raspberry Ripple:
a. Take the raspberry puree and drizzle it over the whipped cream and meringue mixture.
b. Use a spatula to gently fold the raspberry puree into the mixture, creating a ripple effect. Do not overmix.
6. Chill the Parfait:
a. Spoon the mixture into parfait glasses or a serving dish.
b. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
7. Prepare White Chocolate Shards:
a. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, melt it in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid overheating.
b. Once melted, spread the white chocolate thinly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
c. Let it set until firm. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
d. Once firm, break the chocolate into shards or use a knife to cut it into desired shapes.
8. Assemble and Serve:
a. Before serving, garnish the parfaits with white chocolate shards on top for an elegant finish.
b. Optionally, you can also sprinkle some fresh raspberries or mint leaves for added decoration.
9. Enjoy:
a. Serve the Raspberry Ripple Parfait immediately while it's cold and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and chocolatey treat!

Tips:

- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature before whisking to achieve maximum volume.

- Use a metal or glass bowl for whipping the cream; it helps maintain the cold temperature and supports better whipping.

- Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream mixture to maintain the airy texture of the parfait.

- To create the perfect chocolate shards, melt the white chocolate slowly over a double boiler and spread it thinly on parchment paper before letting it set and breaking it into pieces.

- Chill the parfait in the fridge for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of raspberry liqueur to the raspberry puree.
