Preparation method
Preparing the Ice Cream
Line a bowl with cling film. Fill the vanilla ice cream into the bowl (you may need to let it soften slightly so it's pliable, but don't let it melt). Smooth the surface, cover with film, and return to the freezer until firm again.
Baking the Chocolate Base
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat). Grease the rim of a springform pan and line the bottom with baking paper.
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
Chef's tip
Make sure the meringue completely encloses the ice cream so it's insulated in the oven and doesn't melt.
For a particularly beautiful pattern, you can also apply the meringue with a piping bag.
