Omelette Norvégienne (Baked Alaska) – Antoinette

Omelette Norvégienne – vanilla ice cream with “griotte” cherries cooked in kirsch, orange confit and almond nougatine, enveloped in a torched blackcurrant meringue and flamed Grand Marnier poured over. A competent competitor to Henri Charpentier in the arsonist dessert stakes. The lights above your table are switched off as Grand Marnier set ablaze cascades down in a ghostly blue waterfall over your massive purple meringue. The ice cream and very wince-worthily sour cherries are perfunctory and mere wallpaper to the blackcurrant meringue, which was essentially a giant goop of inebriating, berry-sweet pleasure. 4/5
