Parfait – probably the best Christmas dessert, sweet, creamy, crunchy and tempting – and twice as much! Today I have two recipes for you that go wonderfully together. The creamy parfait with roasted almonds ensures the perfect wow moment on your holiday table, without any stress, because it can be prepared long before the party. And the roasted almonds? Not only do they smell wonderfully like a Christmas market, they taste fantastic and they are also the crunchy highlight in the parfait… if you manage not to eat them all first!
What is special about this parfait?
The secret recipe comes from a dear friend, she unpacked her culinary tips while eating goose and this almond parfait is really great. It’s easy to prepare and you can keep it in the freezer, so prepare it in peace and quiet a week or two before the party and then just take it out of the freezer and serve on the evening of the party. I’ve wanted to try roasted almonds in the air fryer for a long time – it’s super easy and you should try it too. It’s best to make a double portion and nibble on it or package it nicely and give it away. So you also have a last minute gift!
