Vanilla and pumpkin parfait with preserved Williams pears & pumpkin seed brittle

Ingredients:

 

  • 4 eggs
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 2 vanilla pods
  • 1/2 l whipped cream
  • 2 cl Amaretto
  • 4 cl  pumpkin seed oil
  • 100 g ground pumpkin seeds
  • 2 Williams pears
  • 1/2 l white wine
  • 3 tbsps honey
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 star anise
  • 5 coriander seeds
  • 3 juniper berries
  • 300 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g pumpkin seeds
 

For the parfait whip up the eggs with the sugar and the insides of the scraped vanilla pods warm over steam. Beat this until it’s cold using a mixer. Fold in the whipped cream and add the Amaretto. Now colour half of the mixture with the pumpkin seed oil and ground seeds. Then layer the mixture into a dariole or pudding mould. Leave in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Halve the peeled Williams pears lengthways and cut out the core. Reduce the white wine and spices. Steam the pears in this until soft. Slowly caramelise the butter, add the pumpkin seeds and roll the whole thing out thinly between 2 sheets of baking paper while still warm. Leave to cool. Break off and plate pieces. Put the rest of the caramel pieces in a grinder and grind coarsely. Coat the poached Williams pears in them and plate.
