Sourdough ice cream: Place the milk in a pan with the cream, inverted sugar, dextrose and powdered milk and heat to 40ºC. Add the sugar, stabiliser and eggs and heat to 85ºC, stirring all the time. Remove from the heat and chill. Add the fresh yeast and the freeze-dried sourdough, beat, strain and transfer to the ice-cream maker. Set aside at -18ºC. Vinegar meringue: Place the egg whites and sugar in a bowl over a bain-marie and heat while stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 65ºC. Continue beating in an electric beater until the meringue has the right consistency, then add the sherry vinegar. Set aside.
Dried vinegar meringue: Place the meringue in a piping bag with a plain nozzle 0.5 cm in diameter. Squeeze out small peaks, no more than 0.5 cm high, onto the dehydrator plate covered with a silpat. Dehydrate at 55ºC until totally crisp.
Cocoa purée: Place the cocoa pulp in a pan with the agar-agar and mix. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Transfer to a container and leave to set in the refrigerator. When set, use an electric beater to break up to a purée. Set aside.
Cocoa grue: Place the water and sugar in a pan and heat to 120ºC. Add the cocoa grue, remove from the heat and mix with a spatula until the consistency of the grue has changed. Set aside.
Fresh lychees: Cut the lychees open, remove the kernel and cut into quarters. Set aside.
Toasted lychees: Cut the lychees open, remove the kernel and cut into quarters. Place on an oven pan covered with a silpat and bake for 30 minutes at 130ºC. Remove from the oven, leave to cool and set aside. Whipped cream: Place the cream in a bowl and whisk. Set aside.
