How to make
-
Mix the butter, biscuits and 50g of pistachios in a large bowl until fully combined, then press into the base and sides of a 23cm fluted loose-bottomed tart case and freeze for 20 mins.
-
Whisk the egg white to soft peaks before gradually adding the sugar. Whisk for another 5 mins, until stiff and glossy, then remove the biscuit base from the tin and put on a baking tray. Scoop balls of the ice cream into the centre, leaving a 2cm gap around the edge and layering with the remaining pistachios as you go.
-
Spoon the meringue over the ice cream, making sure the tart is fully covered with no gaps. Use a spatula to swirl into peaks, then freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, use a blow torch to turn the meringue golden brown. Slice and enjoy immediately.
