Sterilize flower pots by boiling. Dry pots. Place a piece of plain
yellow cake in the bottom of each pot to cover the hole in the
bottom. Add ice cream or sherbet to pots until three-quarters full.
In the middle of each pot, force a large ice cream soda straw and cut
off even with top of the pot. Pile meringue around the inside of the
pot, leaving s over the soda straw open. Bake at 400 degrees until
the meringue turn brown, (about 5 minutes). Insert fresh flowers in
the soda straw. For a holiday look, use holly and red roses or
carnations. For the Meringue: Beat the egg whites until foamy before
slowly adding the sugar, beat well after each addition. Beat until
shiny and stiff, but not dry. Fold in vanilla. Each flowerpot
requires about a third of a cup of meringue Each serving, (vanilla
ice cream was used for analysis) contains 262 calories, 5 grams
