3

In a metal bowl combine the egg whites and the granulated sugar, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, and stir the mixture is dissolved

4

Remove the bowl from the heat and with an electric mixer beat the meringue until it holds stiff glossy peaks

Working quickly, cover the ice cream in each pineapple with a smooth layer of meringue

6

Transfer the remaining meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip and pipe it decoratively over the pineapples

Sift the confectioners' sugar lightly over the meringue, broil the pineapples in batches if necessary on a baking sheet under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the meringue is golden, and serve immediately
