Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Pineapple Ice Cream" recipe which is included in this collection.

Pat the pineapple shells dry with paper towels and freeze them, wrapped well in plastic wrap, for 1 hour. Pack the shells with Pineapple Ice Cream, mounding the ice cream and smoothing the surface, and freeze the filled pineapples, covered with plastic wrap for at least 24 hours.

In metal bowl combine egg whites and granulated sugar, set the bowl over simmering water, and stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the bowl from the heat and with an electric mixer beat the meringue until it holds stiff glossy peaks. Working quickly, cover the ice cream in each pineapple with a smooth layer of meringue. Transfer the remaining meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip and pipe it decoratively over the pineapples. Sift the confectioners' sugar lightly over meringue. Broil the pineapples in batches for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the meringue is golden and serve them immediately.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
