1
Choose a medium-large bowl that's about 8 inches in diameter at the top with a capacity of about 1 1/2 quarts -- the top should just fit inside a 9-inch pie pan (which you'll also need).
-
2
Line the bowl with plastic wrap, draping excess wrap over the sides.
-
3
Evenly and firmly pack vanilla ice cream into the bowl.
-
4
Smooth the surface, and then repeat with strawberry ice cream, yielding two packed layers with a flat surface.
-
5
Place wafers, rounded side down, in a single even layer over the strawberry ice cream.
-
6
(Use fewer wafers, if needed.)
-
7
Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until very firm, at least 8 hours.
-
8
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
-
9
To make the meringue, set out all measured ingredients.
-
10
Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl.
-
11
Beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until fluffy and slightly stiff, about 3 minutes.
-
12
While still beating the mixture, gradually add sugar, no-calorie sweetener, and vanilla extract.
-
13
Continue beating until mixture is fully blended and stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
14
Set aside.
-
15
Remove bowl from the freezer and uncover.
-
16
Place a 9-inch pie pan firmly over the bowl, upside down, and carefully flip so the pie pan is on the bottom.
-
17
Gently tug on the plastic wrap to release the ice cream from the bowl, leaving the ice cream in the pie pan.
-
18
Remove the plastic wrap.
-
19
Quickly and evenly spread meringue over the ice cream mound, swirling to form peaks.
-
20
Place pie pan on a large baking sheet.
-
21
Bake in the oven until meringue is cooked through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
-
22
Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!

(P.S.
-
24
Freeze leftovers... and enjoy them frozen!)
