Ed Baines

Baked Alaska with honeycomb and raspberry ice-cream


Serves 2

Ingredients

For the ice cream

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 100ml caster sugar
  • 200ml double cream
  • 50ml milk
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 Crunchie bar, crushed

For the raspberry sauce

  • Punnet of raspberries
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • Juice of ½ lemon

For the meringue

  • 4 egg whites
  • 4 tbsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp vinegar

To assemble

  • 1 Madeira cake
  • Rum to drizzle
  • Brandy to serve

Method

  1. Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan until scalding.
  2. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl, adding the cream and milk mixture with a ladle, a little at a time. Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the mixture, then add the pod. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook until the mixture starts to thicken, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. For the raspberry sauce, add the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice to the pan and boil to a syrup. Puree the syrup and pass through a sieve. Allow to cool.
  4. Pour the cooled ice cream liquid into an ice cream churner. As it starts to thicken, add the crushed up Crunchie bar. Continue to allow to churn. As the mixture becomes really thick, add the cooled raspberry syrup to create a rippling effect.
  5. For the meringue, whisk the egg whites, sugar and vinegar until the meringue forms peaks.
  6. Cut a 3” disc of Madeira cake and place a scoop of the ice cream in the middle.  Drizzle with rum. Surround the ice cream with thin discs of Madeira cake. Pipe on the meringue, then use a blow torch to caramelise. Drizzle over a little brandy and light it up!
