Meringue & Raspberry Cream Torte is a delightful dessert that combines creamy ice cream, tart raspberries, and crunchy meringues. Perfect for any occasion, it promises a burst of flavor and texture in every bite. Let’s explore how to whip up the lovely treat in your kitchen.
For a dairy-free version, consider using coconut or almond-based ice cream, which can be just as creamy and delicious. If you’re allergic to nuts or gluten, check the ice cream label to ensure no cross-contamination. Fresh raspberries lend a vibrant flavor, but frozen ones work well if fresh isn’t available, just be sure to drain any excess liquid before use to avoid a soggy torte.

Meringue & Raspberry Cream Torte Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 kg vanilla and strawberry ripple ice cream
- 300 g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 10 meringue nests, crushed
- 300 g raspberries, extra
Instructions
- Line a 22cm round spring-form cake tin with plastic wrap, making sure it covers the sides well.
- Allow 2 kg of vanilla and strawberry ripple ice cream to soften slightly but not melt completely, making it easier to spread.
- Spoon one third of the softened ice cream into the base of the prepared cake tin, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle half of the 300 g raspberries evenly over the ice cream layer, followed by half of the crushed meringue nests.
- Repeat the layering process, adding another third of the ice cream, the remaining raspberries, and the remaining meringues, finishing with a final layer of ice cream.
- Cover the cake tin tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until solid, about 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- To serve, remove the torte from the freezer and peel off the plastic wrap, carefully turning it onto a large plate.
- Top with the extra 300 g of raspberries for that extra flair before slicing and serving.
