Using the freshest, local strawberries, this dessert dish is capped by the Alaska peaks to get a burst of different textures and flavours running through it.

Method

1. Heat a pan then toss in the strawberries, half of the sugar and the pinch of pepper.
2. After 30 seconds, add most of the liqueur.
3. Flambé until the flames die down (watch your eyebrows!), place in the fridge and save for later.
4. Whisk the egg whites with the other half of the sugar until they form a stiff peak, transfer to a piping bag.
5. Place the cold strawberries around a plate in a circular shape.
6. Pipe the meringue over the top and use a blow torch to colour the meringue.
7. Drizzle some fruit liqueur over the top, and serve.
