The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Strawberry meringue

    Combine all ingredients and whip for 4 minutes. Pipe the meringue onto a silicone mat, sprinkle with dried strawberries and dehydrate for 4 hours until dry.

  2. 2

    Tea infusion for ice cream

    Heat the milk to 90 °C, infuse for 5 minutes, then strain.

  3. 3

    Earl grey tea ice cream

    Warm the tea infusion to 40 °C, add the dry ingredients and cook to 80 °C. After cooling, mix in the Sour Cream and churn in an ice cream machine.

  4. 4

    Strawberry gel

    Blend all ingredients until thick.

  5. 5

    Strawberry compote

    Mix all together. 

  6. 6

    Compressed strawberries

    Put the strawberries and the tea infusion together, then use a vacuum machine.

  7. 7

    Tea infusion for pastry cream

    Heat the milk to 95 °C, infuse with the tea for 10 minutes, then strain.

  8. 8

    Tea pastry cream

    Combine the infusion, cream, yolk, and sugar. Cook to make a pastry cream, adding the butter at the end.

  9. 9

    Assembly

    Position the meringue case onto a plate, then delicately pipe tea ice cream into the center. Crown it with compressed strawberries, and pipe tea pastry cream in between the gaps. Garnish with crispy strawberry meringue and a sprinkle of Marigold leaves for the final touch.
