- 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 quart brick of ice cream
- Thin sheet sponge cake

Steps
- Make meringue of eggs and sugar as in Meringue I, cover a board with white paper, lay on sponge cake, turn ice cream on cake (which should extend one-half inch beyond cream), cover with meringue, and spread smoothly.
