 | | | Baked Alaska in a Cup |
Baked Alaska is amazing! Yes, that is ice cream in the center. And yes, it is baked in the oven.
Why doesn't it melt? The meringue provides enough insulation that it doesn't melt in the short time it's in the oven.
It looks complicated; it isn't. Ice cream is piled on a cake and then covered with meringue. It goes in long enough to brown the meringue.
We recommend our cream cake mixes for the cake. They have more substance and will support the weight of the ice cream and insulate it better.
Baked Alaska in a Cup is simpler yet. The assembly is simpler (use cookie pieces like Oreos) and you don't have to bake cake.
Either one will delight--and fascinate your family or friends. |
