For the parfait, beat the eggs with the cinnamon and sugar in a bain-marie in warm water until creamy.

Add the rum and stir (preferably on ice) until the cream is cold. Whip the cream until stiff.

Fill individual molds with cinnamon parfait and place them in the freezer. If you line the molds with plastic wrap before putting them in the freezer, it will be easier to remove the parfaits.

For the blown punches: wash the plums with cold water

Let them drain, cut them in half and remove the stone.

Melt the sugar, vanilla sugar and butter in a pan, stirring until the sugar begins to caramelize.

Add the plums and glaze them for 5 minutes

Add the apple juice and bring to a boil.

Thicken the mixture with the breadcrumbs

Let cool.

Add the lemon juice and spices.
