Surprise-there's ice cream inside. With fancy looks and decadent flavor, this recipe's a real showstopper. Kids and adults will love this scaled-down classic. Ingredients:
4 foil muffin liners |
4 chocolate wafers |
1 cup reduced-fat strawberry ice cream |
3 egg whites |
6 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Flatten muffin liners; place on a baking sheet. Place a wafer on each. Scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream onto each wafer; freeze.
2. Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar; beat on low speed with a portable mixer for 1 minute. Continue beating over low heat until mixture reaches 160°, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes.
3. Remove baking sheet from freezer; immediately spread meringue over ice cream, sealing to edges of wafers. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until meringues are lightly browned. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
