6 oz. angel food cake
1 pt. lime sorbet
1 tbsp. finely chopped mint
1 tbsp. light rum
1/2 tsp. finely grated lime zest
4 large egg whites
1/2 c. superfine sugar
Preparation
Step 1Line the bottoms of four 3/4-cup ramekins with angel food cake; cut the cake as necessary to cover the bottoms evenly. Patch any empty spots.Step 2Spoon the sorbet into a chilled bowl. Stir in the mint, rum and lime zest. Scoop the sorbet into the ramekins and smooth the surfaces. Freeze until firm, 1 1/2 hours.Step 3In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, then increase the speed to high and beat until the whites are glossy. Run a knife around the rims of the ramekins and turn the sorbet cakes out onto a work surface. Using a spatula, transfer them to a baking sheet, cake side down, at least 4 inches apart. Spread a generous amount of the meringue all over the sorbet cakes. Freeze the cakes until firm, 1 hour.Step 4Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat. Broil the baked Alaskas for about 2 minutes, shifting the pan constantly for even browning. Carefully transfer to plates and serve.Step 5One Serving : 322 cal, 0.4 gm total fat, 0 gm saturated fat, 74 gm carb, 1 gm fiber.
