Meringue
8 egg whites, pasteurized
600g caster sugar

Strawberry syrup
300g fresh strawberries
50ml. Water
1 Teaspoon Sugar
Juice from ¼ orange
Wash and trim the strawberries. Puree and strain the strawberries. Boil water, sugar & orange into syrup. Add the strawberry puree and flavour with Kirsch or any other Liquor of your choice.
2 Ltr. Ice cream of your choice
Procedure
Cut the sponge into a desired shape (round or square) you will need 2 identical pieces (one for the base and one for the top).
Lay out the sponge for the base and spread it with a thin layer of the strawberry syrup. You can additionally sprinkle some liquor on it.
Take the ice cream and cut it into slices and cover the base with it. The ice cream should not be higher than 5-6 cm. and evenly spread over the entire base.
Spread the 2nd sponge (cover) with the strawberry syrup and place it on the ice cream (the syrup side should face the ice cream).
Apply a thin even spread layer of meringue all around the cake and on the top. This works best with a thin pastry spatula.
Fill meringue into a piping bag with a star nozzle and apply it evenly to all sides of the cake. The top should be covered last.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 220 C until the meringue turns golden brown. Serve immediately after baking.
