Minty Baked Alaska
|
 |
2 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt
1 tablespoon crushed peppermint candy
2/3 cup mint chocolate chip ice cream
2 individual round sponge cakes
In a double boiler, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar; with a
portable mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating over low heat
until mixture reaches 160°, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add
vanilla and salt; beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in
peppermint candy. Place sponge cakes on an ungreased foil-lined baking sheet;
top each with 1/3 cup ice cream. Immediately spread meringue over ice cream and
cake, sealing meringue to the foil. Broil 8 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes or
until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
Yield: 2 servings.
