Step
01
Nespresso Coffee Ice Cream
- Into a medium saucepan, add the whole milk, double/heavy cream & Nespresso Diavolitto coffee. Bring it to a gentle simmer. 400g Whole Milk 200g Double Cream 3 x Nespresso Diavolitto Capsules - While the cream is heating, add the egg yolks and sugar into a medium bowl, and whisk together just to combine. 120g Egg Yolks (About 6 Large Eggs) 90g Caster Sugar - Once the cream is hot, slowly pour it over the egg yolk mixture whisking constantly. - Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and stir constantly over a medium low heat until it has thickened slightly, and it coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overcook it. - Immediately pass the mixture through a sieve and cover the surface with cling film. Chill overnight in the fridge. - The next day, pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn it for 20-30 minutes, or until much thicker. Remove the ice cream from the bowl and place it in the freezer to firm up slightly while you make the remaining components.

02
Meringue Shards
- Pre-heat your oven to 95C. - Add 60g egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if you are using an electric whisk. - Whisk on a medium low speed until they become thick and frothy. - Slowly add 60g the caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Once you have added all the sugar, keep whisking until it reaches a stiff peak. - Place a sieve over the top and tip in the 60g icing sugar. - Fold the mixture together until combined and there is no more icing sugar. - Spread the mixture out onto a baking tray, as thin as possible. You may not need all the meringue so don’t lay it on too thick. - Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the oven off and open the door slightly. Let it cool in the oven for 2 hours.

Orange & Almond Streusel

Pre-heat your oven to 185C. - Pour the mixture onto a baking mat and bake for 15-17 minutes, stirring halfway. The mixture should be lightly golden when it’s done.

Assembly
1. Take a large plate and spread the streusel out in a half dome shape. 2. Using the piping bag with a round tip nozzle, pipe a large dollop of cream onto one section of the plate. 3. Then, using the star tip nozzle, pipe small dots around the plate. 4. Garnish the plate with slices of fresh red grapefruit and edible herbs. 5. Take the sheet of meringue, and break it into large shards. 6. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and use a hot spoon to create a scoop of the ice cream. 7. Put a small amount of streusel onto your meringue shard, and then scoop the ice cream on top. 8. Lift the meringue shard onto your piped cream and then serve.
