Orange à la Norvegienne is a French dessert, remiscent of a Baked Alaska.
It is made of oranges stuffed with ice cream.
You chill the oranges till they are very cold. Meanwhile, you make a meringue from egg whites and sugar.
You cut open the oranges around the tops and scoop out all the pulp, till you have just the shell left as a container, which you fill with ice cream, and top with the meringue.
Then, you pop them under a heated broiler (aka grill in the UK) for 2 to 3 minutes or until the meringue is crispy, and serve straight away.
You can use a kitchen torch to brown the meringue instead of the broiler.
Some people like to leave a bit of the pulp in,
Language Notes
Named after Norway because the dish is served cold and the meringue is remiscent of snow.
