Meringue

4 Longo’s Enriched Coop Egg Whites

Meringue

•After ice cream layer has been frozen until firm, beat egg whites and salt until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat at high speed to soft peaks. Add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beat to firm, glossy peaks. Beat for 2 minutes or until very stiff. Remove plastic wrap from top of ice cream. Turn over onto prepared baking sheet, unwrap. Completely cover ice cream and macaroon layer with meringue. (Make-ahead - Place in freezer for up to 3 hours.) Watching constantly, bake in preheated 500°F oven for about 3 minutes or until golden. Cut down firmly to serve in wedges.
