1 (1.5 quart) container chocolate ice cream 1 (1.5 quart) container vanilla ice cream

Tip


You can prepare the meringue a day in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator.


STEP 1Remove ice cream from the containers in 1 piece and cut each lengthwise into 3 equal strips. Place 2 strips of vanilla ice cream on a parchment-lined ovenproof dish, and 1 strip of chocolate between them. Press together firmly. On top, place 2 strips of chocolate ice cream with 1 strip of vanilla between them. Press together and freeze until hard, at least 1 hour.


STEP 2 Place the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Do not stir. Boil over medium heat

½ cup confectioners sugar 3 cups mixed berries


until the syrup reaches 250°F on a candy thermometer. STEP 3 Separate the eggs, reserving the yolks for another recipe. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, about 2 min. Add the confectioners sugar and beat until mixture forms stiff peaks. STEP 4 Preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Carefully pour the hot syrup into the egg whites in a thin stream, mixing as you do so. Continue mixing until the meringue has cooled, 6-7 min. Chill. Do ahead: You can make the meringue a day ahead. Store, covered, in the refrigerator. STEP 5 Quickly spread ¾ of the meringue over the hardened ice cream. Put the rest of the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip and pipe rosettes around the cake. Place under the broiler until the meringue is lightly browned, 1-2 min. Watch closely to prevent burning. Garnish with mixed berries and serve immediately.
