Method:
Damson Purée:
Using the built-in weighing scales, weigh the damsons and sugar directly into the TM Bowl. Cook 15 minutes/100°C/Speed 1/Reverse Blade Direction. Pass through a sieve, discard the stones and return the fruit pulp to the TM bowl. Blend until smooth 30 seconds/Speed 10. Transfer purée to a clean container and cool over ice.
Damson Parfait:
Line a 23 x 32cm metal baking tray with a double layer of cling film, smooth the air bubbles out and place in the freezer to chill. Weigh the egg yolks, 100g of the sugar and the water directly into the TM bowl and insert the Butterfly Whisk. Whisk and cook 15 minutes/70°C/Speed 4, Measuring Cup ON.
Remove the Measuring Cup and cool the sabayon 15 minutes/Speed 3. Set aside. Weigh the cream and damson purée directly into your second TM bowl, insert the Butterfly Whisk and lightly whip the cream 50 seconds/Speed 4. Set the whipped cream aside. In a clean and dry TM bowl grind the remaining 80g sugar to a powder 30 seconds/Speed 10 then transfer it to a small clean bowl.
Without washing the sugary TM bowl, weigh in the egg whites, insert clean Butterfly Whisk and whisk 2 minutes/Speed 4; adding the powdered sugar during the last 30 seconds.
Set the timer for a further 3 minutes/Speed 4 to whip the meringue to soft peaks.
Transfer the sabayon to a clean large mixing bowl and gently fold in the cream then the meringue. Pour the parfait mixture 2cm deep into the prepared chilled lined tray. Place the parfait in the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours.
Line a flat baking sheet with cling film and place it in the freezer. Once the parfait is frozen solid use a 60mm round cutter dipped in hot water (not boiling) to cut 14 rounds, place them on the chilled lined tray, return to the freezer until ready to serve.
