Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 100 g Pistachio kernels
  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 200 ml Milk
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 300 g Whipped cream
  • 1 package (270 g each) Fresh butter puff pastry sweet or savoury Kipferl and Golatschen (ready to bake rectangular rolled out on baking paper; 42 x 24 cm; refrigerated shelf)
  • 8 beautiful panicles currants
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely grind 75 g of pistachios in a mortar or universal grinder. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Boil up the vanilla pod and pulp with milk. Add ground pistachios, steep for about 1 hour and let cool. Chop the remaining pistachios coarsely

  2. 2

    Briefly rinse a box mould (approx. 1.5 litres capacity) with water and line it with foil. Whisk the eggs and sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer until white-creamy. Stir in the milk mixture. Whip cream until stiff, fold in approx. 3/4 of the remaining pistachios. Fold into the egg-milk mixture. Pour the mixture into the mould, place in the freezer and freeze for approx. 4 hours

  3. 3

    Take the puff pastry out of the refrigerator 5-10 minutes before use. Roll out the puff pastry on the foil, turn it over, remove the foil. Roll out a little wider on a lightly floured work surface. Cut the dough in half crosswise, place 1 half on a baking tray lined with baking paper (both halves may fit on the tray!). Prick with a fork, cover with baking paper and weigh down so that the dough does not rise. Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 225 °C/ convection oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 4) for about 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature (electric oven: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until brown. Repeat the process with the rest of the puff pastry. Take out the puff pastry, let it cool down

  4. 4

    Select the currants, wash and drain them. Remove the parfait and leave to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Cut ice cream into 16 slices, puff pastry halves into 24 rectangular pieces. Layer puff pastry and ice cream alternately on plates, sprinkle with remaining pistachios and decorate with currants
