Instructions
- Let egg whites come to room temperature.
- In a small mixing bowl, beat together egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff peaks, ensuring nearly all sugar is dissolved.
- Cover a baking sheet with plain, ungreased brown paper or foil; draw a 10-inch circle.
- Spoon about 15 dollops (2/3 of the meringue) just inside the circle, making sides of the shell 1-inch high.
- Spread the remaining meringue inside the circle, making the bottom of the shell 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 45 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the meringue dry in the oven (door closed) for at least 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and cool.
- Transfer the meringue shell to a serving plate.
- Soften the chocolate ice cream and stir.
- Spread half of the chocolate ice cream into the meringue shell.
- Top with all of the cherry ice cream, spreading evenly.
- Drop remaining ice cream by spoonfuls over the cherry layer, then swirl.
