Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (10 3/4-oz) frozen pound cake, not thawed
2 pints superpremium strawberry ice cream (not 1 quart)
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Cut frozen cake crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Line bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with cake slices, some halved or cut into pieces to fill in gaps. Halve remaining cake slices lengthwise and place around edge of plate. Patch up any holes with pieces of remaining cake slices. (You may have a couple of slices left over.)
  • Cut paper containers from ice cream and slice each pint into 3 rounds. Arrange 3 rounds in 1 layer on top of cake in pie plate and cut each remaining round into 6 wedges. Fill holes in ice cream layer with some of ice cream wedges and mound remainder in center of pie plate. Freeze 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • After ice cream and cake have been freezing 20 minutes, beat egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until foamy, then add lemon juice and continue to beat until whites hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and continue beating until whites just hold stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Remove ice-cream base from freezer and mound meringue over it, spreading to edge of plate to cover ice cream completely. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a total fail. The meringue didn't rise and the ice cream melted all over the place. I don't know what I did wrong.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up messing up the meringue and the whole thing was a disaster. I won't be trying this recipe again.

This was my first time making Baked Alaska and it was a success! It was a little tricky to get the meringue just right, but it was worth the effort. The end result was a delicious and impressive dessert.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Baked Alaska turned out terrible. The meringue was rubbery and the ice cream was icy. I won't be trying this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of Baked Alaska, but I made it for my husband's birthday and he loved it. It was a bit too sweet for me, but the meringue was really good.

I've been wanting to try Baked Alaska for a while now, and I'm so glad I finally did! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. The meringue was perfectly browned and the ice cream was creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this again.

This was my first time making Baked Alaska, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and it was easy to follow. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of ice cream. The vanilla ice cream I used was a little too bland

I've made Baked Alaska a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The hardest part is getting the meringue just right, but it's worth the effort. The combination of ice cream, cake, and meringue is irresistible.

This recipe was a hit at my dinner party! The Baked Alaska came out perfect, and my guests raved about it. It was the perfect combination of sweet and cold, and the meringue was so fluffy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
