Merengi hearts with ice cream

Preheat the oven to 80 degrees. Place egg whites, sugar and a pinch of tartar Ingredients: Instructions

Preheat the oven to 80 degrees. Place the egg whites, sugar and a pinch of tartar in a heat-resistant bowl placed over a pot of boiling water. Beat constantly, until the egg whites are warm and sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into a food processor and whisk at low speed, gradually increasing it to a high, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla. Place the mixture in a pastry bag and squeeze the hearts onto a baking sheet. Bake from 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool for about 20 minutes. Allow the ice cream to soften for about 5 minutes. Lay 1/4 cup ice cream on the flat side of the half meringue. Cover with the remaining halves and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
