NOTES : If you have any meringue left after piping the two disks, make a few dessert shells. To soften the ice cream, place it in the refrigerator about thirty minutes before needed. And remember,not all of the ice cream is needed at the same time. If you need ice cream softened in a hurry, you can also microwave it on the defrost setting, checking it every thirty seconds at first, and then every fifteen seconds as it reaches the softened state.
