Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and cool mixture, stirring gently with a rubber spatula. In a chilled bowl with cleaned beaters beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks and chill while beating egg whites. In a bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and beat until meringue just holds stiff peaks. Fold cream into yolk mixture and fold in meringue gently but thoroughly. Spoon mixture into six 1/3-cup espresso cups, mounding slightly. Freeze mixture, uncovered, until firm, about 3 hours.
