Remove from heat and allow to cool (cover tightly with plastic wrap,
pressing wrap on surface of custard). In a separate bowl, beat 3 egg whites
until foamy, add 3 Tbsp. sugar, and beat until stiff. Fold into cooled

mixture in pan, broil until golden (this will brown quickly, so watch
carefully). Return to freezer. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before
serving. Enjoy!
