For meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Remove the inside of angel cake leaving one inch thick sides and bottom to form a trench. Fill with ice cream. Freeze until ready to use.
For meringue: In an electric beater, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until meringue is firm. Add sugar and vanilla.
