Can someone please give me a good, easy recipe for Baked Alaska please?

Question

It's my hubbies fav. from childhood and I'd love to be able to surprise him and make it for him.

Answer 1

4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
6 individual shortcake shells (from the bakery)
1 pint ice cream, well frozen

24 hours before preparation place ice cream in the coldest section of your freezer or deep freeze. Ice cream needs to be well frozen to make this dish.
Preheat oven to 450°F.

Beat egg whites until foamy; add salt, cream of tartar and vanilla, gradually beating in sugar until stiff, shiny peaks form.

Fill centers of shortcake shells with ice cream. Cover each with a layer of meringue, using a spatula.

Bake three minutes at 450°F in a preheated oven.

Note: You can substitute pound cake or angel food slices for the shortcake shells.

Answer 2

Episode: Anniversary Celebration





1 store-bought sponge cake or pound cake
1 pint ice cream, your favorite flavor
1/2 cup egg whites (from about 4 eggs)*
1/2 cup sugar
4 clean empty egg shell halves
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
Equipment:
Icing spatula
Ice cream scoop
Pastry bag with a medium star tip
A kitchen torch

Clear some room in the freezer to fit 4 dessert plates. Cut the cake into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut out four 3-inch disks and place them on the 4 dessert plates. Place 1 scoop of ice cream in the center of each cake disk and place them in the freezer. One at a time, remove the ice cream from the freezer and encase the ice cream in slices of cake. The cake covering the ice cream should fit together nicely, creating a dome. Place them back in the freezer for up to 2 days. To make the meringue, whip the egg whites until foamy, then add the sugar, and continue whipping until stiff and glossy. Spread it over the cake domes with an icing spatula, leaving a relatively smooth surface. Push an eggshell halfway into the top to act as a bowl, which will be filled with liqueur before serving. Do all 4 domes, returning them to the freezer as you finish them. Transfer the remaining meringue to your pastry bag. Pipe meringue decoratively on the domes. Heat the broiler to very hot (or fire up your kitchen torch) and broil until lightly browned all over. Return to the freezer for up to 2 days, until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, warm a little orange liqueur in the microwave and carefully pour it into the empty eggshells. Ignite the liquor and carry it to the table. After the flame dies down, lift the eggshell off the Alaska with 2 spoons and pour the liqueur over the dessert.
