Recipe
Pina Colada Parfait
Ingredients
- GINGER LEMONGRASS INFUSED COCONUT SORBET:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup chopped lemongrass
- 1/4 cup peeled and minced fresh ginger
- TO ASSEMBLE:
- 1 quart Ginger-Lemongrass Infused Coconut Sorbet
- 1 cup chopped pineapple
- 1/2 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup dark rum
- 1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream
- 1/2 cup white chocolate shavings, garnish
Directions
- For the sorbet: To make the simple syrup, in a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir, and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, lemongrass and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Add the simple syrup and stir well. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean -container. Cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Pour into an ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.
- To assemble: In 4 tall, footed glasses, place 1 small scoop of coconut sorbet and pack the ice cream down into the bottom of the glasses with the back of a spoon.
- Top with about 1 tablespoon of the chopped pineapple, about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the toasted coconut, and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the rum.
- Continue with the remaining ingredients, so there are 4 layers of each, ending with pineapple and rum on top, pressing with a spoon to “seal” each layer.
- Place the parfaits in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and top each with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and garnish with white chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.
