Chocolate Bombe Alaska


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 400g chocolate sponge roll
  • 75g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 eggwhites
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 4 Blue Ribbon Chocolate Sundaes

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cut 4 x 2cm-thick slices of sponge roll. Place onto tray, leaving space between each for easy removal. Spoon chocolate onto each sponge slice.
  3. Place eggwhites into a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. Add sugar, a spoonful at a time, beating continuously until all the sugar is added. Beat for a further 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Turn a frozen ice-cream onto each sponge slice. Spread meringue evenly over each, making sure ice-cream and sponge base are completely covered.
  5. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until meringue is light golden and firm to touch. Serve immediately.
