The pumpkin seed parfait:

  • When the mass is frothy, remove it from the water bath and keep beating until the mass has cooled down again. Mix the pumpkin seed brittle in a blender.
  • Then mix the cream, the fine brittle, the egg-sugar mixture and the pumpkin seed oil in a bowl. Fill the parfait mass into a silicone loaf pan and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.

The chocolate cake:

  • Melt the butter together with the chocolate in a water bath and stir in the grated ginger. In the meantime, beat the eggs and sugar with the mixer for at least 3 minutes until frothy.
  • Now stir in the chocolate butter mixture and add the flour. Now pour the dough into buttered muffin silicone molds dusted with cocoa and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
  • To finish baking, preheat the oven to 200 ° C and bake for about 10-11 minutes (depends on the oven).
