Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Trace two 12x4-inch rectangles, spaced slightly apart, on 1 paper.
Trace one 12x4-inch rectangle on second paper.
Turn papers over (marked lines should show through).
Sift 3 tablespoons sugar, powdered sugar, and cocoa into medium bowl.
Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until frothy.
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 5 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites are stiff and glossy.
Fold in cocoa mixture.
Spread 1/3 of meringue (about 1 1/2 cups) evenly over each marked rectangle.
Bake meringues until dry, reversing sheets every hour, about 4 hours total.
Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven overnight.
Lift meringues from parchment.
Place 2 meringues on work surface.
Gently spread 1 pint ice cream over each, being careful not to press hard to avoid cracking meringues.
Place 1 filled meringue on long platter.
Top with second filled meringue, then third meringue, pressing lightly to adhere.
Cover and freeze assembled cake at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
Beat cream, vanilla, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl until peaks form.
Spread whipped cream on top layer of meringue to cover; scatter chocolate sprinkles evenly over.
