I thought about presenting this as deconstructed* smears on an Asian style square plate but then, thought better of it. That really does deserve the special place in hell mentioned in the previous post.
The jelly recipe HERE.
For the Five Spice Cream:
You Will Need:
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon five spice powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
In a heavy saucepan, mix the five spice powder, cornstarch. egg yolks, salt and sugar. Add the eggs and slowly whisk in the cream and milk. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Boil one minute longer. Remove from heat, whisk in the butter and vanilla. Cover with cling film, poke a few holes in it, and chill before assembling parfaits.
*Unless you're talking about Derrida, I'm not really interested in your "deconstruction"-particularly if it involves pastry cream smeared on a plate.
