Alaska Bake

Cover thickly a two-quart brick mould of ice cream with a meringue made from the whites of six eggs and six table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Stand the dish on a board, and place it in a very quick oven to brown. The meringue acts as a non-conductor, and prevents the heat from melting the ice-cream. It may also be browned with a salamander or a heated fire-shovel.

A dainty dish for one's guests.
