T his is a creative way 0️⃣ to use up egg whites that isn't a pavlova. And it includes blackberries, which I always think are one of 0️⃣ the last gifts of summer. This blackberry parfait is strikingly beautiful, so much so that it can be served simply 0️⃣ on its own (either in scoops, or set in a loaf tin and sliced) or with a few extra fresh 0️⃣ blackberries on the side for sharpness and a plate of these thyme shortbreads.

Cook: 35 min 0️⃣
Chill/rest: 20 min 0️⃣
Freeze: Overnight
0️⃣ Serves: 6

0️⃣ For the parfait
150g blackberries
0️⃣ 90g egg whites (from 3 medium eggs) 0️⃣
160ml double cream
150g 0️⃣ caster sugar

For the thyme biscuits (makes 12)
0️⃣ 280g plain flour
0️⃣ A pinch of flaky salt 0️⃣
120g salted butter 0️⃣ , cold and cubed
130g 0️⃣ caster sugar , plus more to finish 0️⃣
3 sprig s of 0️⃣ thyme , leaves only
0️⃣ 2 egg yolks
12 skin-on almonds
0️⃣ Fresh blackberries , to serve

Blend the blackberries 0️⃣ until smooth (it's fine to keep the seeds in). In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a bowl 0️⃣ with an electric whisk), whisk the egg whites until frothy and thick. Whip the double cream in a separate bowl. 0️⃣

In a small saucepan, warm the caster sugar with 70ml water. When the syrup reaches 0️⃣ 115C, quickly go back to the egg white bowl and whip again at high speed. When the syrup reaches 121C, 0️⃣ carefully pour it down the side of the bowl into the egg whites (avoid pouring it on to the whisk), 0️⃣ then whisk again until the mixture has cooled. You have now made Italian meringue.

In 0️⃣ a large bowl, fold together the blended blackberries, the Italian meringue and the whipped double cream a third each at 0️⃣ a time, until completely combined. Pour the mixture into a container with a lid and freeze overnight.

0️⃣ For the shortbread, heat the oven to 180C (160C fan)/350F/gas 4. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. 0️⃣

In a bowl, combine the plain flour and salt. Using your fingers, rub in the 0️⃣ butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the caster sugar and thyme leaves, followed by the egg yolks. Bring 0️⃣ the dough together with your hands, adding a splash of water if needed.

Rest the 0️⃣ dough in the fridge for 20 minutes, then divide it into 12 equal pieces and rolling each one into a 0️⃣ small ball. Arrange these spaced out on the prepared baking tray, press an almond into the middle of each one, 0️⃣ and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely.

0️⃣ Serve a scoop of blackberry parfait with a shortbread alongside, and garnish with fresh blackberries.
