Add the eggs, mix well and pour onto the ginger base. Bake in the preheated oven at 220 °F for 90 - 120 minutes, or firm to the touch.

For the topping: lightly whip the cold QimiQ Whip until completely smooth, ensuring that the entire mixture is incorporated (bottom and sides of bowl). Add the sour cream, sugar, vanilla and almonds and continue to whisk at top speed until the required volume has been achieved.
