Valentine's days dessert: Duo of Ice cream with meringue & raspberry sauce

Join my online French cooking classes 👨‍🍳: https://learn.thefrenchcookingacademy.com/p/get-started-with-french-cooking why not make a valentine's treat . this Vacherin dessert is made out of a Duo of ice cream, meringue slices, raspberry sauce topped with whipped cream.

In France we call that dessert the Vacherin glace and it is served in the form of a cake rather than an individual portion. that meringue and ice cream dessert recipe is not hard to make and if you don't want to make the meringues, you can just buy them ready made. in a nutshell it is basically a duo of ice cream sandwiched between two slice of french meringues served with raspberry sauce and decorated with whipped cream and fresh fruits. its old french classic that deserved to be tasted.

If you want to make that valentines dessert the traditional way then you will have to make the sorbet and the vanilla ice cream from scratch.

I highly recomment getting a food ring for your kitchen as it is such a good tool to have:
