Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the cake rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Topr the cake rounds with a large scoop of ice cream. Place these in the freezer while you prepare the meringue.
- Beat the room temperature egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until they form a stiff, but not dry, meringue. Add the sugar near the end of the beating time.
- Remove the prepared cake and ice cream layers from the freezer and cover each with meringue, making sure to seal the meringue all the way down to the parchment.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
- Remove from the pan with a spatula and serve immediately.
Notes
- When applying the meringue, take care to seal it all the way down to the parchment paper.
- At about the 5-minute mark of baking, start watching carefully, and if you see any melted ice cream beginning to run out, remove them from the oven immediately.
- Try other combinations like chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream, white cake with peach ice cream and meringue, or chocolate cake with strawberry ice cream.
