Method
- Line the loaf tin with a sheet of clingfilm; this makes it easier to turn out when the parfait is frozen.
- Purée the mango flesh, lime zest and juice in a blender until smooth.
- Place egg yolks and sugar in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until pale, thick and doubled in volume. Remove from the heat and fold in the mango purée. Leave the mixture to cool.
- Whisk the cream until thick, fold into the cold mango mix and pour into the prepared loaf tin. Freeze for a minimum of 8 hrs or overnight. To serve, cut into slices and decorate with Cape gooseberries if you like.
