call it "Stike's Smores".[p]based on the classic Baked Alaska, where egg whites (much entrained air) act as an insulator during browning of the meringue....[p]ingredients:
small tart-sized graham cracker shells
vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
fluff (new englanders know what this is!) or maybe mini marshmallows
hershey bars[p]1 put a piece of the hershey bar in the bottom of the shell (maybe frozen shell?)
2 flattened scoop of icecream on top (pre-make and flatten the scoops and freeze hard in waxed paper)
3 spread fluff over top and seal the edges (i wonder if fluff would be too runny maybe cover with mini marshmallows, but fluff'd give a better seal)[p]here's the tricky part... [p]with the egg at maybe 600, indirect, with a small touch of hickory or maple (for that campfire taste), place 'smores' on pizza screen on platesetter... let it go until the marshmallow is brown.[p] maybe make the whole thing ahead, with fluff, and freeze all together as individual pre-made smores/tarts. that'd keep the fluff from running, and expose the exterior to more browning perhaps.[p]

    stike,
    Still stuck on the bbq icecream?There's a guy at Restaurant L in Boston who uses liquid nitrogen (and centrifuges, etc.) in the kitchen. Maybe if you could dip your flattened icecream scoops in that and then assemble and smoke...[p]I'd think that a really hard scoop of icecream from a conventional freezer balanced on an already grilled (then brushed with your maple syrup, then flipped to hold the ice cream) and exposed to a fresh handful of wood chips for big, quick smoke (maybe 2 minutes) would do it.[p]On the other hand, some foods just aren't destined for bbq.[p]Paul

    stike,
    haha sorry! It's a grilled peach half!!! I did a bunch of grilled peaches last summer and served them with vanilla ice cream. But I think the ice cream would pick up a little smoke (which may be good or not, but worth a try. Maybe even a sprinkle of white pepper. Damn. It's only 9am.
