The idea?
I wanted to keep the authenticity of the product but reworking the textures.
The shape?
Keeping the lemon half confit for the shininess and to really have the impression of eating a lemon.
The flavours?
Keeping the lemon flavours ; parfait, sorbet, meringue.
The technical step?
To make the parfait isn’t difficult. This is a dessert which is both easy and original. Make sure to use lemon juice to keep the flavours.
