Ingredients
- 500 ml vanilla ice cream
- 4 x 8cm round sweet waffles
- 100 g Opies Black Cherries with Kirsch (reserve the syrup)
For the meringue
- 4 free-range egg whites
- 200 g caster sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7.
-
Place the waffles on a lined baking tray, then drizzle about 1 tbsp of reserved syrup on each one.
-
Place 2-3 scoops of ice cream on top of each waffle and push in Opies Black Cherries with Kirsch. Freeze until solid.
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7. To make the meringue, put the egg whites in a very clean bowl and whisk until stiff peaks are formed.
-
Whisk in half of the sugar for about a minute until there are soft peaks, then gradually fold in the remaining sugar.
-
Put the meringue in a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, then pipe rosettes all over the ice cream mixture.
-
Bake immediately for 3 minutes until the meringue is golden. Serve immediately.
Tip! As an alternative, a kitchen blowtorch can be used to brown the meringue.
