Myers+Chang – Vanilla Bean Parfait with Orange Granita
“Over the years, we’ve probably gotten no fewer than 1000 comment cards singing the praises of this parfait as a “wicked good” interpretation of the creamsicle. I didn’t grow up eating typical Americana dessert fare and have never had a creamsicle, so I’m not quite sure what inspired me to make this. A large plate of oranges was considered a dessert in my household. That wasn’t going to fly at Myers + Chang (I have my pastry chef reputation to maintain after all) so I married fresh orange ice with vanilla bean parfait (essentially an ice cream made without an ice cream maker). And if you are a fan of the creamsicle, apparently you are going to love this. There are a gazillion ways to plate it to make it pretty, fun, or whimsical. It is creamy and refreshing and the perfect way to end a big Asian feast.” – Joanne Chang. Chef & Co-owner, Myers+Chang.
