Frozen mint and chocolate parfait

Method

1. Roll up 25 large mint leaves and cut into shreds (keep the small leaves for decoration). Place in a small pan with 300ml double cream and the caster sugar. Bring just to the boil, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
2. Break up the chocolate and place in a bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes until just melted. Stir in the egg yolks. Strain the cooled cream into the chocolate and whisk well.
3. In a clean grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whisk in the icing sugar. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites until smooth.

4. Pour into 6 silicone muffin moulds or dariole moulds, cover with clingfilm, and freeze for 4-5 hours or overnight. Whip the remaining cream. Turn the parfait onto plates just before serving and decorate with little swirls of cream, some mint leaves and the chocolate curls.
