See what happens is the Ice Cream is frozen rock hard after it is being encased with the merinque, thus the dish is chilled enough so that it doent melt!.!.!. anyways when it is gratinated heat doesnt reach till the ice cream !.!.hence the trick!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because the oven is very very hot (like 500oF) and the outside meringue cooks in just a moment or two!. also the icecream should be frozen very hard, at a very low temperature!.
