Baileys Nougat Parfait with Mango Salsa
Ingredients for 6 people:
Nougat parfait:
- 30g dark chocolate
- 200g nut nougat (sliceable)
- 125ml Baileys Irish Cream
- 250ml whipping cream
- 2 packets vanilla sugar
Mango salsa:
- 1 small mango
- 2 – 3 mint stems + mint for garnish
- Pinch of coarsely ground chilli
Preparation:
- Grate chocolate. Place nut nougat and Baileys into a saucepan, heat gently and slowly melt the nut nougat, stirring constantly. Place mixture in a sauce pan and leave to cool. Whip cream until stiff, slowly adding the vanilla sugar. Stir whipping cream and chocolate pieces into the nut nougat mass. Scoop the cream into a mould (e.g. a square cake tin, 20cm long, 9cm wide and 7cm high). Freeze overnight.
- Peel mango and remove flesh from the stone. Cut the flesh into small squares. Scald the mint, then dry it with a paper towel and remove the leaves from the stem. Finely chop the mint leaves and pour over the mango pieces together with the chilli.
- Dip the tin briefly into hot water. Turn out the parfait, cut into slices and serve with the mango salsa, garnished with the mint leaves.
Preparation time about 25 minutes + freezing time
