7-layer ice cream cake
05.4.2012 
My gorgeous and wonderful husband passed his skydiving course this week, so the little boys and I are very proud of him and his efforts! It was a long and grueling week for him. This weekend I plan to take the boys out to our camper at the dropzone for the first time this "summer," so we are all looking forward to that. And hopefully some of our skydiver friends will be able to enjoy this dessert that I made tonight because it is yummy! I stole the idea from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Magazine. It is such a deliciously pretty dessert!
Remove 1 frozen (thawed) pound cake (10 3/4 ounces) from its pan and cut it horizontally into 4 slices. Line the aluminum loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang on 2 sides.
Build the cake layers as follows:
Bottom cake slice
1 cup lime sherbet, softened
Cake slice
1/2 cup Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
1 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
Cake slice
1 cup raspberry sherbet, softened
Top cake slice
Wrap in plastic and freeze for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 3 days.
In a heatproof bowl, lightly whisk together 2 eggs whites and a pinch of cream of tartar.
Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until the whites are foamy. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup sugar and cook, whisking, until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove the bowl from the heat and, with an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 6 minutes.
Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat for another minute. Remove the cake from the pan and dollup the meringue over the top.
Serve immediately! Enjoy! And come skydiving with us this summer!

I want to commend you. I saw this on Pinterest without proper credit given, so I chased it all over the internet trying to find the source. You are the first person I've found who credited the idea to Martha Stewart. I appreciate your integrity.
Not to mention that it looks delicious and I can hardly wait to make it! :)
