Baked Alaska
Recipe
Ingredients
Serves 6
Method:
-
Freeze the ice-cream in the coldest section of the
freezer. Cut the sponge to match the top of the
ice-cream tub, then freeze the sponge on a baking
sheet
overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to
230°C/450°F/Gas mark 8.
-
To make the meringue,
whisk the eggs whites with an electric mixer to soft
peaks, then increase the mixer speed and gradually
add the sugar until the peaks are firm. Take care
not to exceed this point or the meringue will
separate.
-
Spread the sponge with the jam. Turn out
the ice-cream to sit on top of the jam. Smooth the
meringue all over it with a palette knife, taking it
right down to the edge to seal in the
ice-cream entirely, with no gaps.
-
Bake for 4 to 5
minutes, until the meringue is just beginning to
color. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
