Minty Baked Alaska image

I've made this dessert on a few special occasions for my husband and me. He just loves it. It's so simple, but it looks and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. Crushed peppermint candy adds a cool flavor and decorative touch. It never fails to impress. &mdash: Brenda Mast, Clearwater, Florida

The meringue on this Baked Alaska was perfectly toasted. It was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
