Crust

  • 350g Oaty Biscuits
  • 200g White Chocolate (blitzed until fine)
  • 150g Unsalted Butter

Filling

  • 400ml Vanilla Icecream (softened)
  • 180g Cream Cheese
  • 60g Icing Sugar
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Zest of 3 limes
  • Green food colouring

Topping

  • Wedge of lemon
  • 3 Large Egg Whites
  • ½ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 200g Caster Sugar
  • 100ml Water

Directions

1. Place the biscuits in a bag and crush with a rolling pin until they are crumbs
2. Stir in the white chocolate and the melted butter. Press the mixture on the base and sides of an 8" spring form pan then place in the freezer
3. Put the softened ice cream, cream cheese, lime juice and zest into a mixer and whisk until well combined and smooth. Pour into the frozen crumb crust
4. Put the water and sugar into a pan with a sugar thermometer. Heat gently until the sugar has fully dissolved. Without stirring, turn up the heat and simmer until the temp reaches 115°C
5. Meanwhile, rub a lemon wedge around a clean mixing bowl. Add in the egg whites and whisk until soft peaks form. Add in the cream of tartar
6. While the mixer is on full speed, pour the sugar syrup slowly at the edge of the bowl, then keep whipping until the mixture is thick and glossy
7. Pile the meringue high over the lime filling in a peak. Using a kitchen blow torch, gently pass the flame over the surface of the meringue until it is light and golden, but not burned. Serve immediately
