Bring a large pot (big enough to place your mixing bowl over top) of water to boil. Whisk the egg whites and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl of the stand mixer over the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring often, until the egg whites are very warm to the touch and the sugar has dissolved, remove the bowl from the heat. Whip the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. Add in the salt and vanilla extract and whip to combine well. Cool slightly before using.

Once the meringue is cool enough to use, remove the ice cream from the freezer. Working quickly, spread the meringue all around the top and sides of the ice cream. You want to make sure no ice cream is peaking through. Place back in the freezer for ⏱️ 1 hour or overnight.
