Lemon Meringue Ice Cream Loaf
Ingredients
½ cup (110g) CSR Caster Sugar
½ cup lemon juice (approx. 3 lemons)
3 eggs
3 egg yolks, extra
½ cup (110g) CSR Caster Sugar, extra
1½ cups cream
1 tbsp lemon rind, finely grated
75g store bought small meringues
Method
- Place caster sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar then simmer for 6–7 mins or until syrup thickens slightly. Set lemon syrup aside to cool for 20 mins.
- Combine eggs, extra yolks and extra caster sugar in a heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk for 5 mins or until frothy (the heat helps to increase the volume of the mixture).
- Remove from heat and beat with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Fold through lemon syrup.
- Beat cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold through lemon egg mixture and lemon rind.
- Line a 26cm x 10cm loaf pan with plastic wrap. Scatter whole meringues over the base. Pour lemon mixture over meringue layer. Cover with foil and freeze overnight. Enjoy cut into thick slices.
