Baked Alaska is more of a novelty. Ice cream is supposed to melt if you bake it. But it doesn't because the meringue insulates the ice cream. It's a good science project.

If you do a simple Google image search for Baked Alaska you will see so many different ways of making and serving a Baked Alaska. Some have that classic "igloo" shape, others are rectangle shape, log shape, pie shape, layer cake shape, or square. And they have all flavors of ice cream and flavors of cake. There are ones with multiple layers, and some with just two. Some have fruit mixed in with the ice cream. On some the meringue is light and on some its very dark. And some show it being served with the meringue set aflame (Probably after being coated with some kind of liquor). The point being, it doesn't look like there is actually any 'Right' way or 'wrong' way to make a Baked Alaska as long as what you've made turns out to be one you like, you are doing great!

when my daughter was six i gave her the choice for her birthday cake. I gave her a cookbook and said she could choose her cake and mom would make it. I thought she would choose the heart shaped cherry chip cake as it was cherry flavored and covered in pink icing which was right in her wheel house. No... she chose baked Alaska but the ice cream needed to be blueberry cheese cake flavored. I was a surprised M om Her and her friends, all six of them, sat outside at the picknick table eating baked Alaska. None of the other girls ever heard of it but that it was soooo cool to have your cake and ice cream in one dessert. I have never made it since that day but we do still giggle about it. Thanks for the memory

Elana is officially living the high life, she must be the envy of all her friends. Every time you turn around she gets to try something new, especially the desserts. 😊👍

Great job! The méringue is supposed to be quite stiff and fairly browned. It's a good dessert but not a favorite. Fantastic job though, Mrs. H! They take a lot of effort and timing. I've only ever had them on a cruise, never attempted to make one. So, sending you a huge round of applause!

Wow! Good job! That looks marvelous.

[@intallpines]

I've never had that! Good job! xoxo

Oh no! My grandparents fought over this- my grandad loved it but my grandma HATED making it. I am not a meringue fan and this is too much work for me for a questionable result. The H family did an amazing job on a very difficult dish.

This particular type of meringue is soft marshmallow on the inside and a fine crust on the outside.

You want a challenge try to get Baklava to turn out. LOL. I never could. The meringue is mainly to insulate the insides so don't overthink it, might leak or something.Something I loved to make was Penuchi.

[@elainesrottenbottom296]

Looks good to me! I'd give it a 2!

Love the Cleveland Guardians jersey, Mr H. Go Guardians!

I think I had Baked Alaska once, but I can't remember the meringue. Baked Alaska is one of those things they prepare on cruise ships or at fancy restaurants to show off. They are not everyday desserts. Too fiddly. Hard to make and not good enough to be worth the extra effort. Still, Mrs. H did a good job as far as I can tell. And it's worth trying once. But next time, just make the pound cake and eat it with ice cream. (Or berries and whipped cream, which is even better.)

I've never had a "crispy" meringue
