Baked Alaska

This is a healthier version of Baked Alaska. It's a great summer dessert. Also, once the dessert has been "baked," it can be frozen and served later.

Baked Alaska
1 pint orange sherbet
3 egg whites
8 oz. can sliced pineapple, drained on toweling
6 Tbsp. white sugar
1/4 tsp. cream of tarter

Scoop sherbet into six balls and place them on a plate. Freeze until very firm, at least four hours. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. In a clean glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Mix in cream of tarter and gradually beat in sugar until stiff and glossy.

Place pineapple rings on baking sheet, and top with sherbet balls. Spread meringue on top and sides. Bake 5 minutes until browned. Remove and serve immediately.
