Hello sweet friends,
Baked Alaska is one of the most iconic retro desserts of all time. Decades ago, fancy restaurants would bring this dazzling dessert to your table and set it ablaze before your eyes. Baked Alaska is traditionally a dome of Neapolitan ice cream layered with chocolate cookie crumbles, pound cake, a layer of whipped meringue, and torched until golden brown.
Sounds like a difficult recipe to make, right? Well not anymore. In this version, I chose to use frozen pound cake and Oreo cookies to save a little time. I also used the oven to brown the meringue, so there is no need to pull out your kitchen blow torch for this recipe! The only truly homemade part of the dessert is the meringue, which is easy to prepare makes this show-stopping dessert taste like it was made at a swanky restaurant for a very special occasion.
Give this recipe a try, and please send pictures!
Love,
