Ingredients

  • POMEGRANATE COMPOTE
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 medium pomegranate (1 cup of seeds)
  • 2/3 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • PUDDING
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds for garnish
  • 6 mint sprigs for garnish

Preparation

  • To prepare compote:
    Mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a small saucepan. Add pomegranate juice, lemon juice and 3/4 cup pomegranate seeds (save 1/4 cup for garnish) ; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Refrigerate while you prepare the pudding.

    To prepare pudding:
    Combine milk in a medium heavy saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean (or add vanilla extract). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
    Meanwhile, whisk egg, egg yolk, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium bowl. Reheat the milk mixture just until steaming. Carefully whisk one-third of the steaming milk into the egg mixture. Pour the egg-milk mixture back into the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until very thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in butter.

    To prepare parfaits: Divide the pomegranate compote among six 6-ounce (1 cup) parfait glasses, ramekins or other small dessert cups). Spoon the pudding mixture over the compote. Cover and refrigerate until the pudding is well chilled, at least 3 hours.
    To serve, garnish each parfait with pomegranate seeds and a mint sprig, if desired.
