Baked Alaska with marshmallow frosting
Chatelaine Triple Tested

This '70s dessert is back baby! The classic combo of cake, ice cream and a pillowy igloo of meringue looks awfully impressive.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups softened ice cream

  • 4 slices pound cake, 1/2 in. thick, cut into 3-in. rounds

  • 3 egg whites

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 tbsp water

  • 2 tbsp corn syrup

  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • LINE 4 muffin cups with plastic wrap. Fill each with ½ cup ice cream and top with cake. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 3 hours.

  • WHISK egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, cream of tartar and salt in a large metal bowl set over a large pot with 1 in. of simmering water until sugar dissolves, about 3 min. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high over water, until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted, about 7 min. Remove from heat. Beat in vanilla.

  • REMOVE frozen ice cream from muffin tins and discard plastic wrap. Place, cake-side down, on baking sheet and spread with frosting. Toast frosting using a blowtorch, or broil 5 in. from element until dark golden, 1 to 2 min. Serve immediately.
