Alstra Ice Cream

by Gillian Polack

Another of my grandmother’s 1950s recipes. Why an ice-cream cake? Because it seems so very 1950s.

Alstra Ice Cream
Make ice cream & freeze well. Just before serving put a half sponge sandwich on a wooden plate & turn ice cream on to it. Beat whites of 2 egg & sugar until stiff & put all over the ice cream sprinkle a little caster sugar over. Put into oven until meringue is a light brown serve at once.
