Speculoos Glazed Parfait: Chef’s Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Speculoos spread
• 1/4 cup Speculoos cookies, crushed

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add in sugar, water, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the mixture thickens and becomes pale yellow in color.
3. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Combine with the egg yolk mixture.
4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the egg whites into the egg yolk and cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Melt Speculoos spread in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 seconds, until it becomes pourable.
6. Layer the parfait in glasses or jars, starting with a layer of the Speculoos spread. Then, add a layer of the parfait mixture, followed by a layer of crushed Speculoos cookies. Repeat layers until the glasses are filled to the top.
7. Drizzle remaining Speculoos spread over the top of each glass and sprinkle with additional crushed Speculoos cookies.
8. Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.

Verdict:

This Speculoos glazed parfait is a heavenly dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The parfait is light and fluffy, but the Speculoos spread gives it a rich and indulgent flavor that your guests will love. The crushed cookies on top add a nice crunch, and the glazed finish adds a beautiful touch to the presentation of the dessert.

Serving Suggestions:

• Top with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
• Serve with a warm cup of coffee or tea to complement the flavors.
