BETTY'S TIP: A sprinkling of powdered sugar on dark plates or a dusting of baking cocoa on a white platter adds an impressive finishing touch to this elegant dessert. For an extra special touch, make sugared mint leaves. Mix small amounts of powdered egg whites and water (or use pasturized egg whites) and paint onto mint leaves that you have washed and patted dry. Sprinkle with sugar. Let stand on wire rack until dry.
