Steps

  • Preheat oven to 100°C and whisk egg whites with lemon juice and sugar to create a stiff meringue.
  • Pipe meringue droplets onto parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes until crisp.
  • Puree the tinned rhubarb in a food processor.
  • Heat half the rhubarb puree and dissolve the soaked gelatine into it before cooling.
  • Whip the cream slightly and chill.
  • Whisk sugar, glucose, and 50ml water to 116°C and stream into whisked egg whites for Italian meringue.
  • Fold the gelatine rhubarb mixture, whipped cream, and remaining puree into the Italian meringue.
  • Pipe the mousse into a bag and chill in the fridge for 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Blend cone ingredients with 250ml water and cook in a waffle maker until golden before rolling.
  • Melt white chocolate buttons in the microwave using 10 second bursts until smooth.
  • Seal the bottom of each cone with a small amount of melted white chocolate.
  • Create colored chocolate sheets on acetate sprinkled with popping candy and chill for 25 minutes.
  • Peel acetate to break chocolate into flame-like shards.
  • Boil glucose, honey, sugar, and 100ml water to 154°C, then whisk in bicarbonate of soda.
  • Pour honeycomb into a tray to cool and break into pieces.
  • Make a custard with milk, cream, yolks, and sugar by cooking on low heat until thickened.
  • Whisk yoghurt into cooled custard and churn in an ice cream machine.
  • Layer mousse, honeycomb, and meringue into cones, topping with ice cream and chocolate shards.
