The ingredients needed to make Strawberry Meringue Gelato Cake:
- Take Italian meringue
- Take 4 fresh egg whites
- Make ready 1 1/2 cup white sugar
- Prepare 1/4 cup water
- Prepare 1 tbsp liquid glucose or light corn syrup

- Make ready 3 cup strawberries, washed, dried and hulled
- Prepare 1 tbsp icing/confectioner's sugar
- Get 1 tbsp white sugar
- Make ready cream
- Make ready 3/4 cup double/heavy cream
Instructions to make Strawberry Meringue Gelato Cake:
- To make the Italian meringue, put the sugar, water and glucose/corn syrup in a medium large pot. Put the eggs in the (scrupulously clean) bowl of a stand mixer.
- Set the heat under the pot to medium high, bring the sugar mix to the boil, swirling the pot to move the sugar once it dissolves.
- Use a sugar thermometer to check the temperature of the boiling syrup. Please be careful with hot sugar! When the temperature reaches 100C, start the whisk on the stand mixer to high.
- When the sugar reaches 116C (or the 'soft ball' stage), take the syrup off the heat and slowly pour into the fluffly egg whites, keeping the mixer on a medium high speed.
- Once all the syrup is poured in, turn the speed down to low, and leave it whisking until the egg whites have cooled, this can take up to thirty minutes.
- While this is happening, take half of the strawberries and the confectioner's sugar and blitz them in a food processor until smooth. Strain them through a sieve to remove any seeds, and keep in the fridge.
- Take the other half of the strawberries and slice them up. Reserve the nicest slices to decorate your cake, add the white sugar to the rest and leave to mascerate.
- Put the cream in a large bowl and whip to the consistency of soft ice cream (think of sundaes or Mr Whippy, in the UK)
- Take a loaf tin that holds at least six cups, you may need another container as this mixture can make up to ten cups worth…dampen it with a little water, shake off the excess, and line it with plastic wrap.
- Place the reserved strawberry slices in a pattern on the bottom of your lined loaf tin.
- Take the cream and spoon it into the meringue, along with the strawberry purée and the sliced strawberries. Fold it all together gently with a meal spoon, until it is just rippled.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared tin, any extra can be spooned into another lined container. The top if the main cake can be smoothed out with a spatula dragged across it, rather like a bricklayer smooths the cement on a brick wall. Do this over the other container to catch the excess mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until set. This will take at least 7-8 hours, but can be left overnight to firm up fully.
- Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving, pull the plastic wrap, turn onto a serving plate, remove the plastic wrap and use a bread knife soaked in hot water to cut slices.
