Meringue Glacé Leda

Meringue Glacé Leda — a reference to the Greek myth — is composed of crisp meringue, smooth ice cream, and lightly cinnamon-flavored cookies in the shape of the swan’s wings, all surrounded by ethereal spun sugar. The presentation is quite special and certainly befits a romantic occasion. However, the dessert is relatively easy both to prep and to assemble; other than the spun sugar, all of the components may be prepared well in advance.
