½ teaspoon almond extract
8 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Baked Alaska didn't turn out very well. The meringue was too brown and the ice cream melted too quickly.
