Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 1/2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 large egg whites
2 pints mint chip ice cream, slightly softened
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Trace two 12x4-inch rectangles, spaced slightly apart, on 1 paper. Trace one 12x4-inch rectangle on second paper. Turn papers over (marked lines should show through). Sift 3 tablespoons sugar, powdered sugar, and cocoa into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until frothy. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add 5 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites are stiff and glossy. Fold in cocoa mixture. Spread 1/3 of meringue (about 1 1/2 cups) evenly over each marked rectangle. Bake meringues until dry, reversing sheets every hour, about 4 hours total. Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven overnight.
  • Lift meringues from parchment. Place 2 meringues on work surface. Gently spread 1 pint ice cream over each, being careful not to press hard to avoid cracking meringues. Place 1 filled meringue on long platter. Top with second filled meringue, then third meringue, pressing lightly to adhere. Cover and freeze assembled cake at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Beat cream, vanilla, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl until peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top layer of meringue to cover; scatter chocolate sprinkles evenly over. Cut crosswise into slices and serve.

I thought this cake was just okay. The meringue was a bit too sweet for my taste and the ice cream was too icy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out like the picture. The meringue was too brown and the ice cream was too icy.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a less sweet ice cream next time.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best cake he's ever had.

This cake was a disaster! The meringue was too runny and the ice cream was too hard. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of ice cream. The mint chip ice cream was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved this cake. The meringue was so light and airy, and the mint chip ice cream was the perfect balance of sweet and minty.

This cake was a hit at my party! The chocolate meringue was light and fluffy, and the mint chip ice cream was the perfect complement. I would definitely make this cake again.
