PREPARATION
Make the vanilla ice cream. Leave to sit for at least 12 hours.
Make the chantilly.
Make the Swiss meringue and spread approx. 200g
between 2 sheets of baking paper using a rolling pin.
Crumple up the sheets, then leave them to dry in a hot cupboard for 24 hours.
Make the blackcurrant compote and set it aside until you are ready to serve.
Churn the vanilla ice cream and use a piping bag with a
plain round 18mm nozzle to pipe it into rounds of approx. 30g. Freeze.
Make the vanilla Opalys coating, then dip in the vanilla ice cream rounds using a toothpick. Set aside until you are ready to serve.

Beat the chantilly and arrange a small dab on each
plate. Stick a vanilla ice cream round on each one.
Add a further 20g of chantilly. Arrange approx. 15g of blackcurrant compote in the middle.
Repeat. Finish off with a third sheet of Swiss meringue.
