Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Meringues
Melted unsalted butter
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup egg whites (from about 4 large eggs)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Sauce
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 1/2 pints chocolate ice cream or peppermint stick ice cream
1/2 cup chopped red-and-white-striped hard peppermint candies

Steps:

  • For meringues:
  • Preheat oven to 225°. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using small bowl or can as guide, trace three 4-inch-diameter circles on parchment on each baking sheet; turn parchment over (circles will show through). Brush parchment with melted butter. Whisk powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons sugar in small bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until foamy and beginning to hold soft peaks. Slowly beat in 1/2 cup sugar; continue beating until whites are stiff and shiny. Fold in powdered sugar mixture, then chocolate. Spoon meringue by generous 1/2 cupfuls into center of each circle. Using back of spoon, spread meringue to edge of circle and indent center to form shallow bowl.
  • Bake meringues until crisp, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Place baking sheets on racks; cool completely. (Meringues can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • For sauce:
  • Bring cream, water and sugar to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low; add chocolate. Whisk until melted. Remove from heat; stir in extract. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over low heat before using.)
  • Place 1 meringue in center of each plate. Top with scoops of ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with chopped candies. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE CHIP PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM

This is the basic Creme Glacee with added ingredients. I made this recipe up for a dinner party, and changed it mid stream. My grown son told me it had to be green, so instead of using peppermint extract, I used 3 ounces of Creme de Menthe. It did not freeze hard in the ice cream maker, but we wanted to try it, and the softness did not bother any of us. We all had seconds, some had thirds, and the small amount that was left, I put in the freezer. I suspect it will not last through tomorrow. It was excellent. The next time I make it, I will allow several hours for freezer time. This is not a fast recipe. Well! I have let enough time slip by to get to know my recipe better. The Creme de Menthe is what I now use each time. The ice cream gets hard enough to be nice, but never so hard I can't "dip" it. I had two bowls tonight!... I have to stop making this!
