Critical Success Points

  • Baking the sponge cake (must be moist and not dry)
  • Complete cooling of the syrup before adding rum
  • Properly soften the pear sorbet and caramel ice cream without melting them
  • Sufficient freezing before unmoulding
  • Reach exactly 121 °C for the Italian meringue syrup
  • Incorporate the hot syrup into the whites without cooking them

Safety Warnings

  • The syrup for the meringue reaches 121 °C: handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Wear kitchen gloves when unmoulding the hot pan.
  • Be careful with the sharp knife when cutting the sponge cake.
