Be sure to try this simple recipe for a frosty dessert.
Ingredients
- Egg whites, 2 pieces
- Powdered sugar, 80 grams
- Dark cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon
- Creamy ice cream, 600 grams
- Fresh strawberries, 300 grams
Preparation
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the powdered sugar while continuing to beat. Once the mixture is stiff and glossy, gently fold in the cocoa powder and lemon juice.
Transfer the whipped meringue to a baking dish lined with parchment paper, leaving the sides free so the mixture does not touch the edges of the dish (the meringue will rise during baking).
Place in a preheated oven at 140°C (280°F) and bake for 60 minutes. Leave it in the slightly open oven to cool.
Gently remove the crispy top layer from the cooled meringue (it will crumble, but don’t worry about that). Cut the creamy, cocoa base of the meringue into large squares and arrange them on plates. Then, scoop the ice cream onto the squares using an ice cream scoop, and chop the strawberries and add them to the dessert.
Finally, decorate with the previously set aside crispy meringue topping.
