Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a saucepan over a medium to high heat, bring the nectarine and apple juice to the boil and cook until the fruit is soft.
  3. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and white sugar, to taste, then rub through a sieve and chill.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking to dissolve each spoon of sugar before adding the next.
  5. Using a sharp knife, remove the centre of the Madeira loaf, then fill with Caramel Swirl ice cream.
  6. Spoon the meringue mixture on top and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the meringue is golden in colour.
  7. Cut into thick slices and serve immediately in bowls of chilled nectarine soup.
