In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with 1/4 cup of the water. With a damp pastry brush, wash down the sides of the pan to prevent stray sugar crystals from forming. Heat until the mixture reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and fluffy. When the sugar syrup has reached temperature, with the mixer on medium-high, carefully pour the hot sugar syrup down the side of the mixing bowl and continue beating until the mixture has cooled. Add the puree and mix gently. Scrape the mixture into a metal bowl and set aside in the refrigerator. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup water and heat until the mixture reaches 235°F. Meanwhile, clean the bowl of your stand mixer and add the egg whites and salt. Whisk until foamy. Slowly add the hot sugar mixture to the egg whites and whip on high until the egg whites are very white and shiny and hold soft peaks. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high until the mixture forms stiff, white peaks and has cooled. Transfer the egg whites to the puree mixture and gently fold together. Clean the bowl of the stand mixer and pour in the heavy cream. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture, making sure no white streaks remain. Gently pour the parfait into single-serving glasses, a large serving bowl, or individual rectangular cake molds and freeze until firm, at least 5 hours or overnight. Serve frozen. To serve the rectangular cakes, heat the metal mold with a blow-dryer on low heat, then gently remove the mold. If you'd like a gradation of colors to give the dessert a visual pop, before freezing, add a drop of orange food coloring to half the mixture. Spread the darker parfait in an even layer first, then gently spoon the lighter-colored parfait on top,
