Quince Parfait Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups of quince paste
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, cold
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of brandy
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of water

Instructions

1. Cut the quince paste into small cubes and place it in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get small chunks of quince paste. If you don’t have a blender or a food processor, you can grate the quince paste with a cheese grater.
2. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and brandy and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the quince paste into the whipped cream mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the cooled sugar syrup into the quince mixture and gently mix to combine.
6. Spoon the quince parfait mixture into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
