{Dessert} Baked ice cream with port wine figs and cantuccini. Super easy and really delicious.
E in dessert that overcomes a temperature difference of just 200 degrees in 10 seconds? A breeze! And honestly, you do not have to be a kitchen hero for that. Not even a bit brave. Because the whole thing is so simple that it really gets everyone. Yeah!
With a nervous eye on the upcoming family celebrations I am always looking for a dessert, which on the one hand triggers a big WOW with the loved ones, but certainly not in is driving any nervous breakdowns. And this completely relaxed recipe is already quite, very high on the hit list: Cold vanilla ice cream and crackling, full-bodied port wine figs meet crispy Cantuccini under a hot meringue. The whole thing is prepared in just 15 minutes and can be easily stored in the freezer for a few days. To serve then just get the shape from the icebox, quickly spoon over a bit of egg whites over it, into the blazing oven - and 5 minutes later you have a fantastic dessert on the table! Any questions?
Oh yes: You have to show absolutely no heroism for this dessert (as I said). But your casserole should be a pretty hard stuff and definitely not ceramic (crack hazard!). But for example made of specially hardened borosilicate glass. Extreme temperatures of -40 ° C to + 300 ° C and blatant interplay between freezer and hot flames are then no problem at all. If you want to try something really heroic again. Could be yes.
Have it delicious! ღ
