MERINGUE PIE WITH ICE CREAM
Marängpaj med glass

This meringue pie is a favourite among both grownups and children. It is filled with ice cream and strawberry jam, covered with meringue and then baked in the oven.

1 pie, approx 8 servings

Pie dough:

¾ cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3½ oz butter or margarine

Filling:

¾ cup strawberry jam
4 to 6 cups strawberry ice cream

Meringue:

3 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar

Decoration:

strawberry jam

Pie shell:
Chop together flour, sugar and fat. Work the dough together and press it out in a pie pan. Leave for 15 minutes, then bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Spread out the jam in the pie shell.

Let the ice cream soften slightly in room temperature and beat it until smooth and pliable with an electric beater. Divide the ice cream evenly into the pie shell. Put it in the freezer while you make the meringue.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and add the sugar little by little, while beating vigorously. Divide the meringue over the ice cream so that it covers the whole pie and bake it at 480 to 525F for 4 to 5 minutes and let the meringue take colour. Drizzle with strawberry jam and serve.

You can prepare this pie in advance until baking and store it in the freezer for several months.

Enjoy!
