Can you believe it? This stunning dessert is completely make ahead, including the meringue. All you need to do is bake it for a few minutes in the oven before serving.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I've made it, but haven't tried it yet. One irk so far - said to bring meringue up to 160 degrees and then whip to stiff peaks. Then immediately spread on the ice cream. Duh... The hot meringue dripped off the cold ice cream onto the aluminum foil tray. Luckily I think I saved it by putting everything in the fridge/freezer to cool it down, and now I will attempt to frost the top again when it won't slide off because of the heat. I knock myself in the head for not realizing this in the first place, but it would have helped to include this in the recipe. Made my own creme de menthe with fresh mint steeped in simple syrup and a little vodka, so hopefully it will all be delicious for dinner guests tomorrow night. Thanks for the recipe!
