Baked Alaska

Baked Alaska is a neat ice-cream dessert that is surrounded with meringue, the meringue acting as an insulation between the frozen ice-cream and the hot oven so that, if you have been careful not to leave any holes, the ice-cream emerges as cold as when it went in. You can make a baked Alaska with a shop-bought sponge and manufactured ice-cream or make them both yourself.
