Vanilla Parfait

I cannot recall where I found this recipe for a vanilla parfait, but I love it as it is easy to make and tastes delicious.

Ingredients:

• 3 egg yolks
• 50 ml water
• 75 caster sugar
• 1 table spoon vanilla extract
• 150 ml double cream

Put the water with the sugar into a saucepan and stir it over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil the sugar water and cook for about 7-10 minutes. Cook until the water starts to thicken (syrup).
Whip the egg yolks with the vanilla extract until it has more then doubled in volume.
Add the syrup and let the mixture cool down.
Beat the cream and fold it with the egg/syrup mixture.
Put everything into the freezer.

Serve with fruits, chocolate or anything you like. YUM!
