  5. Prepare your meringue. Combine egg whites, sugar and cream of tartare in a bowl and set it over a saucepan filled less than halfway with water (ensure the simmering water is not touching the bottom of the bowl). Continuously whisk the ingredients over the simmering water and allow the sugar to dissolve. Using your electric or stand mixer you can immediately begin whisking the mixture to form stiff peaks. Once the meringue begins to form, add your vanilla and salt and continue whisking until stiff.

  6. Flip out the hot cross buns and ice-cream from the bowl onto your cake stand and cover with the meringue. Use an offset spatula to create texture.

  7. Use a chefs torch to burn the meringue. You can serve immediately or return to the freezer for later.
