Egg mixture

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a thin-sided bowl. Suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie; the bowl must not touch the water. Using the whisk on a mixer, beat until the mixture is light and frothy. Stir in the tahini. Remove the bowl from the bain-marie, continue to beat until the mixture is cold. Mix in the peach puree.

Parfait

Pour the chilled cream through a sieve into a bowl, beat until stiff using the whisk on a mixer, then carefully fold into the egg mixture. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff, carefully fold into the mixture, transfer to the glasses, cover and freeze for approx. 4 hrs.

To serve
