Recipes

I had this a couple of years ago at the CIrprianis restaurant in NYC. I loved it and at the time I searched for a similar recipe. I had kind of forgotten all about it until I watched a show on Food Network that featured this very same dessert. I started to search again and can't really find anything. I will see pics of this in blogs from people who visited the restaurant and loved this cake as much as I did, but no recipes. Anyone here who could help?

Let me first say I have never had this cake.  I googled Cipriani's vanilla meringue cake and then scrolled down and it says there is a youtube.com site that you can watch.

I don't seem to be able to send the link but try  google and leave out the word creme and see if that helps.

I've never had it either but from looking at the pictures it seems pretty straight forward. I can't tell what type of cake layers it has, but they could be chiffon cake, looks like vanilla pastry cream and just meringue over it. I'd brown the meringue with a blow torch.

Can I ask what you are googling exactly @m0rgan? I am typing in Cipriani Vanilla Creme Meringue cake and I am not seeing anything from youtube but if you are even a word off sometimes, it will affect it and that is why I am asking. Thanks!

Morgan said leave out the word "creme" when googling.

Cipriani's vanilla meringue cake.  I just started with Cipriani's vanilla and google finished it for me.  Wish I could send the link, don't know what' the matter with my computer today.  As I said I never had the cake and it might not be the right recipe on youtube.

I thought so too and tried several different times, and not even close. In the tv show it said they made a sponge cake with cream in the layers and then meringue on top. I tried pastry cream the first time and then whipped cream and still wasn't getting close. I mean sponge and pastry cream recipes can vary so much so i was trying to get as close as I could. They did mentioned using lemon zest in it, but didn't specify in the cream or the cake. UGH.... I have just never had a recipe that was so difficult to find at least a template for. Thanks ladies!

I can't tell you how many times I have searched for this and never one did I see this youtube video, even when I went to the second, third, fourth, etc.. pages. I am so happy. Thanks again @m0rgan!
