Cheat’s lazy version of parfait in many flavours

Ingredients

• 100ml pumpkin puree (for the ultra-cheat version use a jar of baby puree)
• 2 tbsp caster (or icing) sugar
• 200ml whipping cream
• optional: pumpkin-seed oil to serve

Method

1. Softly whip the cream with the sugar. Fold the pumpkin puree into the whipped cream. Freeze mixture for several hours. Move from freezer to fridge for about 30 minutes to one hour before serving. Drizzle with pumpkin-seed oil for serving, if wanted.

Variations

This can be widely varied and will work with many fruit and vegetable purees; do not omit the sugar when using vegetable purees. You can also use this recipe to make chocolate parfait, just replace puree by 100g melted dark chocolate (melt chocolate gently over low heat, let cool for a few minutes and fold into whipped cream, freeze).
