Instructions

1
Grease a 7-inch bowl (large enough to hold 1/2 gallon ice cream, but not wider than your cake round!) with flavorless oil (see note above) or unsalted butter.
2
Let ice cream soften until it is workable. Pack tightly in the bowl. Return bowl to freezer until it hardens.
3
When ready to assemble, beat egg whites until foamy.
4
Add tartar and whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in powdered sugar, a little bit at a time.
5
Place frozen layer cake on a plate slightly larger than the cake. Unmold the ice cream by centering it on the cake. If the ice cream does not release from the bowl, see notes.
6
Do not trim the cake. "Frost" cake and ice cream with meringue, covering completely, creating a decorative pattern by forming peaks with a spoon or spatula.
7
Bake in preheated at 450 degrees for 6-7 minutes until meringue peaks are golden brown.
8
Store in freezer until serving time.
