Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Sponge cake, store-bought or homemade
- 1 quart ice cream, any flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the meringue by beating the egg whites until stiff with cream of tarter.
- Beat in the sugar gradually and continue beating until it makes a very stiff meringue.
- Put several thicknesses of paper on a small board that will fit into your oven. Place sponge cake on paper.
- Shape ice cream into a dome on top of the sponge cake. Return the cake and ice cream to the freezer until just before serving.
- Cover with the meringue making sure the meringue completely covers the cake and ice cream all the way down to the paper. It must be sealed all around or you will have a puddle of ice cream in the bottom of your oven.
- Bake at 450 degrees F until lightly brown. Must be served immediately.
