Christmas Banoffee Alaska! | Jamie Oliver

[Music] hi guys hope you're well jamie oliver here i am going to give you my recipe for a great christmas dessert it's indulgent delicious beautiful to see it is from my new christmas cookbook banoffee alaska it's brilliant for christmas because you can do bits ahead and put it in the freezer and then when it goes out it's stunning first up short crust sweet pastry i've got plain flour 200 grams and then the other element of flour is almond flour then i'm going to flavor it subtly with a fine grater and half an orange one egg goes in really lovely rich yolks look at that then i'm going to go in with a pack of butter about 150 grams a sort of generous pinch of salt in here we're going to buzz it up as soon as it comes together onto a table and i'm just going to hug it i don't want to overwork it i don't want my hot hands to sort of affect it we'll wrap that up pop that in the fridge to relax on there is lovely pastry that i did about an hour ago i've rubbed this 25 centimetre mold with some butter and i'm just gonna dust a nice clean surface and just use a rolling pin or some cling film just to roll this out so we'll roll this up now just let it kind of go in if something breaks you can just plug it and fix it so once you've done that get a little fork and we'll just put a few little holes this will just relieve any steam that builds up just use some greaseproof paper or some cling film if you're going to use cling film use the cook safe cling film the non pvc stuff some people have baking beans i have baking rice okay so just push that down then just loosely put this over like that and we're going to cook this for 10 minutes at 180 degrees celsius and then after it's done that what i'll do is remove the cling film and the rice and let it have another sort of five to ten minutes so it looks like this what i'm going to use is some beautiful dolce de leche right we'll just spoon that out and then about 10 minutes ago i got some lovely vanilla ice cream out the freezer and into the fridge and i'm going to make a layer of ice cream and just break it up so i'm going to put this in the freezer and then i'll show you what to do next so italian meringue we're going to go in with 300 grams of sugar we're going to go in with 80 milliliters of water we just give it a little shake around pop it on a medium-high heat then i'm going to use a sugar thermometer now you can get these online easy peasy we're going to take it to 110 degrees celsius and then turn it down and let it creep up to 120. i need five eggs guys crack the eggs into a dish you want pure egg whites no egg yolks okay you don't want to bust them so be gentle we need a clean bowl for our mixer and clean whisk the five egg whites go in i'm gonna put a pinch of salt in here okay so let's get that down full whack so we've got the sugar at 120 degrees celsius and then we are going to carefully pour it into the machine of course it's really really hot so it's immediately cooking the egg whites and it's going to give you that incredible cooked bouncy meringue let this whisk for about 10 minutes to cool down and make it silky smooth this is what you get at the end of this beautiful journey last bit it's that incredible kind of hit of lovely silky smooth banana with the caramel so i'm gonna get two cut them at an angle about half a centimeter a centimeter thick i'm gonna get two parts of lime we'll use the zest from a little fine grater then i'm gonna roll just to get the juices going cut it in half and then the lime juice over the banana so we've got it frozen it's hard we've got an oven on full whack about 220 we're gonna put the banana over the top and let's just pile our meringue on top silky smooth i'm just gonna move the meringue in and around you can try and create some wispy ends and then last but not least a little drizzle of camp coffee which is coffee flavored essence right just ripple it through there she is so we're gonna put this in at 220 degrees celsius for about four minutes she's looking mighty fine get yourself a little bowl or something like that and take this over rest it on top and it will just pop straight out like that look at that let's get into this beautiful there's a into the middle gorgeous use your knife underneath the slice that you've created we've got the lovely orange and almond crumbly biscuit base we've got the caramel layer here we've got the ice cream the banana and lime and then that beautiful coffee tainted italian meringue it's hot on the outside and around the biscuit base and it's just starting to melt in the middle it's a perfect temperature [Music] it's so good thanks for watching hope you enjoy it if you want to check out the book just click the link and have a happy christmas and a happy happy new year take care
