SPARKLING RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE DOUBLE-DATE PARFAITS



Sparkling Raspberry Cheesecake Double-Date Parfaits image

These Sparkling Raspberry Cheesecake Double-Date Parfaits are made with store-bought pound cake for ease, but feel free to use any leftover cake you have available. I combined two servings in each tall glass with two spoons (you know, to be romantic and all that), but feel free to separate your parfaits out into 8 small parfait glasses. These can be prepared up to 1 hour in advance and chilled until serving.

Categories     Berry     Egg     Fruit     Dessert     Valentine's Day     Raspberry     Pear     Sparkling Wine     Winter     Chill     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups dry Champagne or rosé sparkling wine
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 large firm but ripe pears, peeled, cored, quartered
6 large egg yolks
2 1/2-pint baskets raspberries
1 cup chilled whipped topping cream
4 mint sprigs
12 rose petals from unsprayed roses (optional)

Steps:

  • Place 1 tablespoon Champagne in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until soft, about 10 minutes. Combine remaining Champagne and 1 cup sugar in heavy medium saucepan; stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Add pears; reduce heat and simmer just until pears are tender, turning pears often, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, place pears on plate and cool. Boil poaching liquid until reduced to 1 1/3 cups, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot poaching liquid; return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until candy thermometer registers 175°F., about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add gelatin mixture and whisk until dissolved. Chill custard until thickened but not set, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Set aside 4 raspberries for garnish. Combine remaining raspberries and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Coarsely chop pears. Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into custard. Place 1/4 cup raspberries in each of four 12- to 16-ounce goblets or balloon-shaped wineglasses. Spoon half of pears over raspberries, dividing equally. Spoon 1/2 cup custard over each. Repeat layering with remaining raspberries, pears and custard. Cover loosely with foil; chill until custard is set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Garnish parfaits with reserved raspberries, mint and rose petals, if desired.
