Cake, Ice Cream & Meringue. What’s not to like about this Baked Alaska Recipe!
One of the most iconic dishes in culinary history, this luxurious Baked Alaska dessert recipe combines the contrasting elements of warm, toasted meringue and ice-cold vanilla ice cream, all sitting on top of a traditional Italian panettone base.
To create this simple yet scrumptious Baked Alaska recipe, start with a layer of soft, buttery panettone – the classic Italian holiday bread with its delicate, sweet crumb. The rich vanilla ice cream creates a luxurious contrast to the panettone's subtle flavours, and the pièce de résistance is the billowy meringue which envelops the entire creation. The Baked Alaska dessert recipe is then baked, creating a toasted exterior while keeping the ice cream perfectly frozen inside.
For variations on this classic Alaska baked cake, consider using different flavours of panettone, including with candied fruits or chocolate chips. You could also experiment with different ice creams, like chocolate or coffee to complement the panettone's delicate taste.
Our Baked Alaska recipe is a sensational showstopper, and if you're looking for more impressive desserts, try your hand at a classic crêpes Suzette, a towering croquembouche, or a decadent Chocolate soufflé.
