In a metal bowl combine egg whites and remaining 1/3 cup sugar and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir mixture just until sugar is dissolved. Remove bowl from heat and with an electric mixer beat meringue until it holds stiff glossy peaks.

Spread meringue over ice cream and broil under preheated broiler about 4-inches from heat until golden, about 30 seconds. Freeze dessert, uncovered, 30 minutes to harden meringue and if desired freeze covered, overnight. Cut dessert into 4 squares and halve each square diagonally into triangle.
