Baked Alaska Recipe
Ingredients
SERVES
6
Method:
-
Freeze the ice-cream in the coldest section of the
freezer and 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 egg whites
with an electric mixer to form soft peaks.
-
Increase
the mixer speed and gradually add the sugar until
the peaks are firm,
but take care not to take it too far 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 the
ice-cream in 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.
