Honey Lemon Parfait Recipe

Finely grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon

150 ml water

30 ml/2 tbsp clear honey

2 egg whites
150 ml double (heavy) cream

Cigarettes Russes, to serve

Method:

Put the lemon rind, juice, water and honey in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and boil until thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Gradually whisk in the syrup and continue whisking until the mixture is cold. Whip the cream and fold into the mixture. Turn into a freezer-proof container and freeze until half frozen. Whisk thoroughly with a fork to break up the ice crystals, then freeze again until firm. Serve in dishes with Cigarettes Russes.
