Meringue a Trois (Personal Baked Alaska Ice Cream Cake)

Making a Baked Alaska can be a fun, impressive and delicious dessert choice for a special occasion. This dessert has been popular for over a century with variations in its recipe and presentation.

The traditional Baked Alaska  is made with ice cream which is placed on a bed of sponge cake, covered with meringue, and then quickly broiled in the oven. 

As a result, the meringue becomes golden and the ice cream remains cold inside.

Making a Baked Alaska can be challenging, and require careful attention to detail and precision in the execution.  A Baked Alaska is perfect for bringing people together and sharing in the joys of a stunning dessert.

Our twist on this classic -makes the Baked Alaska execution Fast and Easy!  We also love the ‘Mini’ format that let’s you easily create a fun variety of cakes for your guests.

History of the Baked Alaska

Aphrodesi’hacks’

  • Make sure to clear room in your freezer, before you start.
  • Ice cream and cake domes can be assembled 2 days ahead. Then cover with Meringue and toast right before serving.
  • Meringue can  touchy.  Be sure your mixing bowl is clean and dry, and that there are no yolks with the whites.  Add your Cream of Tartar , and sugar gradually, and make sure you whip until peaks will literally stand up.  Pointy Peaks should be sticking out on your beaters, and in your meringue as you remove the mixer.  (It takes longer than you may think but be careful not to over-beat)
  • Other recipes will recommend broiling your Baked Alaska in the oven for about 2 minutes.  This is risky!  If your cake is not exceptionally hard-frozen- you can have a delicious river running across your oven.  You can buy a cooking torch on Amazon for around $15.  It really pays off in the recipe!
