     Title: RAINBOW MERINGUE TORTE
Categories: Desserts, Cheese/eggs
     Yield: 10 servings

     1 pk (2 packets) meringue mix
          . . .
     1 pt Chocolate ice cream
     1 pt Pistachio or green mint ice
          -cream
     1 pt Strawberry ice cream
   1/2 c  Heavy cream, whipped

 Dazzling dessert! The airy meringue layers are
 foolproof with meringue mix (and no leftover egg
 yolks)! Really easy, but it's a plan-ahead make-ahead--

 Toasted slivered blanched almonds

 Meringue layers: Preheat oven to 400°. Meanwhile
 prepare meringue mix according to package directions
 for meringue shells. Cover 2 large or 4 small cooky
 sheets with foil (or brown paper). Draw four 8
 1/2-inch circles on foil (use cake pan as guide).
 Spoon equal amounts of meringue on the 4 circles;
 spread evenly. Place in hot oven (400°). Close door
 quickly; turn off oven heat. Leave in oven 3 hours or
 overnight, without opening door. Remove meringues from
 foil.

 To fill torte: Let ice cream soften slightly. Place a
 meringue layer on serving plate; spoon chocolate ice
 cream atop and spread evenly (work quickly); place in
 freezer. Spread second meringue with pistachio ice
 cream; set atop first layer in freezer. Spread third
 meringue with strawberry ice cream , set atop others.
 Frost remaining meringue with whipped cream, and add.
 Freeze till ice cream is firm, about 5 hours or
 overnight. Ten or 15 minutes before serving, remove
 from freezer; sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds.
 To serve, cut with sharp knife. Makes 10 servings.
