This is just a sumptuous dessert and one I know you, your family, and friends will fall madly in love with!
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup 8 oz/250gm sugar
- 1 sponge cake genoese
- 3 tablespoon kirsch or other liqueur
- 2 cups 6 oz (500 gr vanilla ice-cream
- Icing sugar - just a sprinkle
- 2 tablespoon Grand Marnier to light.
Instructions
- Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until it forms stiff peaks. This can be done using a beater or with a hand whisk but takes much longer.
- Place the meringue in the refrigerator to chill.
- Cut the cake in half horizontally and sprinkle with the liqueur.
- Place half the cake on a serving plate and cover it with the ice-cream. The ice-cream must be frozen solid - you may have to cut it into pieces!
- Place the other piece of cake on the top. Press it down completely covering the ice-cream.
- Cover the whole area of the cake with the meringue quite roughly. This is the crucial part it MUST be completely covered!
- Sprinkle with icing sugar.
- Place in center of pre-heated oven 220°C/425°F until golden brown, about 4 - 5 minutes, or you can use a creme brulee torch to brown the meringue.
- Keep Baked Alaska in the freezer for 2 - 3 hours until it is time to serve.
- To make a big splash, drizzle 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier over the meringue and light with a match! (Be sure to stand back a little.)
