1/4 cup of white sugar (plus 6 tablespoons)
1/4 cup of softened butter
4 cups of vanilla ice cream
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of almond extract
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Mix together your graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Keep three tablespoons of the crumbs aside for topping later. Press the rest of the crumbs down into a nine-inch pie plate. Bake the pie at 375 degrees for 10 minutes before cooling and chilling it in the freezer. Next, fill the pie shell with vanilla ice cream and put it back in the freezer. After that, beat your egg whites until they turn frothy and add salt and almond extract. Gradually add sugar as well and keep beating everything until it turns stiff and glossy. Spread the meringue over the ice cream and sprinkle the leftover crumbs on top. Finally, put the pie under the broiler at 500 degrees for two minutes and serve immediately.
