Total time: 5 hours (including baking and freezing time) Number of servings: 10-12 Necessary ingredients: *For the meringue base:* - 4 egg whites - 200 g sugar - juice of 1 lemon *For the ice cream:* - 500 g mascarpone - 750 ml liquid cream - 4 egg yolks - 150 g sugar - 150 ml milk - 4 teaspoons instant coffee - 4 tablespoons Nesquik (or other chocolate powder) - vanilla essence (optional, for an extra flavor) Preparing the cake – Step by Step: 1. Preparing the meringue base: - Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Ensure that the bowl in which you will beat the egg whites is clean and dry, as any trace of fat will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. - Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until they form stiff peaks. You will know they are ready when you can turn the bowl upside down without them spilling out. - Gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix. The mixture should become shiny and firm. Finally, add the lemon juice and gently fold it in with a spatula. - Preheat the oven to a low temperature (about 100°C) and bake the meringue base for about 4 and a half hours, leaving the oven door slightly open. This will help dry the base and achieve a perfect texture. 2. Preparing the ice cream: - In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar until they become a fluffy cream. This process helps activate the flavors and achieve a fine texture. - In a saucepan, heat the milk until just about to boil. Gradually add it to the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously. Put everything on medium heat and cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Remember to stir constantly to avoid lumps. - Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. In the meantime, whip the cream until it becomes firm and fold it into the mascarpone in another bowl. - Once the egg mixture has cooled, gradually add it to the whipped cream and mascarpone mixture, gently folding with a spatula. - Divide the mixture into three equal parts. In the first part, add the dissolved coffee. In the second part, incorporate the Nesquik powder, and in the last part, add the vanilla essence. Mix each composition well. 3. Assembling the cake: - Line a pan in which you baked the meringue base with plastic wrap. Layer each ice cream mixture, alternating between the three flavors. Cover everything with the meringue base. - Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to firm up completely for a few hours or until the ice cream is firm. 4. Serving the cake: - Before serving, turn the cake onto a serving platter and decorate it with whipped cream. If you feel creative, you can try making a chocolate basket filled with ice cream. Although it may take a little practice, the result will surely impress! Practical tips: - Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better homogenization. - The ice cream can be customized with other flavors, such as salted caramel, berries, or even mint. Be creative! - You can replace mascarpone with Greek yogurt for a lighter version, but the taste will be different.
