please can someone tell me the recipe for 'baked alaska' and how to make it.?

Question

I know it is made with ice cream which you put in the oven for a short while and the ice cream does not mellt. You also pour brandy over the top and set fire to the top.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it has merange in it too. I don't know how to make it but I saw an article in wikipedia.com about it. I'm pretty sure I saw a recipe on about.com also.

Answer 2

Make a Victoria sponge base. Place hard frozen ice cream on the base and cover with soft fruits which have been cooked down a little to produce some syrup. Smother with meringue, making sure that the ice cream is completely covered. Place in a hot oven for no more than 5 minutes or under the grill til the meringue starts to colour. Serve immediately. The meringue acts as an insulator and the ice cream should still be firm.

Answer 3

Gosh, I've not had this dessert for an absolute age!!

My mum used to make it as an alternative to Xmas pudding every Christmas.

Don't be bothering making the base, you can buy ready made flan cases and are just as yummy!

Lay some sliced peaches, strawberries on the flan base, then drizzle a lil brandy over the top, cover with good quality vanilla ice-cream. Then completely cover with stiff egg whites mixed with a lil sugar until it's shiny?!

Pop in the oven until the peaks of the meringue brown a lil.

Voila......my favourite!

Enjoy

Answer 6

Firstly you need a base which comprises of a thin sponge cake or if you prefer pastry. Meringue made with the whites of two eggs, if you want the meringue sweet fold in two spoonfuls of caster sugar. Place the ice cream on the cold base cover it in the meringue, making sure all the ice cream and base are cover red. Place in a hot oven taking it out when the meringue is golden in colour

Answer 7

im not sure on the actual recipe, but you just have meringue-covered ice cream and YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE ALL THE ICE CREAM IS COVERED before baking it, or it will melt...leave it for about 2-3 minutes, or when the meringue turns light brown...

Answer 8

cook or buy your pasty case mix up the meringue put the amount of ice cream required into the case pipe your meringue on the topand cokk in the oven on 250,for 4 mins,so the ice cream does'nt melt. and eat or put in freezer.
