Ok, I hope I never stop bragging about my husband, because not only is he a great hubby and father, but an awesome cook and when he wants to try something new he just goes looking on the Internet for a recipe!
Doesn't it look so yummy? It is and I wanted to share the recipe with you!
4 slices* (1 oz. each) angel food cake
2 Tbsp. peach** jam
4 scoops (1/2 c. ea) light vanilla ice cream
2 extra-large egg whites
3 Tbsp extra-fine sugar
-Preheat oven to 400
-On cookie sheet, arrange cake slices in single layer, leaving some space between each slice; spread each slice with 1 1/2 tsp. jam. Top each slice with a scoop of ice cream; freeze at least 5 minutes***
-Meanwhile, prepare meringue. In clean, grease-free bowl, using electric mixer at medium speed, beat egg whites just until stiff peaks form. Continue to beat, gradually add sugar; beat until glossy
-Remove cookie sheet from freezer. Immediately spread meringue over ice cream, working quickly to cover entire scoop AND being sure meringue touches edges of cake slices on all sides to SEAL. Bake until meringue is lightly brown, about 5 minutes; serve immediately.

*-slices should be flat, don't cut them at a wedge angle otherwise ice cream slides off!
**- we have not actually tried the peach jam, but apricot, and that has been delicious!
***- Tom has found the longer it is in the freezer the better it works, even up to 20 minutes!
Enjoy! It is so delicious, warm on the outside and then the scoop of ice cream is still formed and cold in the middle!
YUM!! I sure would like to taste that. Yay for husbands who can cook!!
