Coffee Meringue And Ice Cream Kisses

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300u00b0F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Using a 2-inch round cutter as a guide, draw 16 circles on the parchment paper.

2. 2

   Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating until dissolved between additions. Beat in the coffee granules; beat for a further minute. There will be little specks of coffee. Pipe or spoon the meringues inside the marked circles.

3. 3

   Bake meringues for about 45 mins or until dry to touch. Turn oven off; cool meringues in the oven with door ajar.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, line a 12 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press spoonfuls of slightly softened ice cream firmly into the prepared pan and smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze until firm.

5. 5

   Turn the ice cream out of the pan onto a board. Cut eight 2-inch rounds of ice cream with a fluted cutter. Sandwich the meringues with ice cream. Serve immediately.
