BAKED ALASKA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Wrap a 10-inch (25 cm) freezer-safe bowl in plastic wrap. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the bowl, and using a spatula smooth the ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen.
• Remove the bowl from the freezer, and scoop the strawberry ice cream onto the frozen vanilla layer. Using a spatula, smooth the strawberry ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen. After the strawberry layer is frozen, repeat with chocolate ice cream.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until well combined. Add 1 egg and mix until combined. Repeat with remaining eggs, mixing after each egg is added.
• Alternate adding a little bit of flour and milk, whisking after each addition until combined. Repeat until the flour and milk have been used up. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
• Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
• Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch cake tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a plate and set aside.
• Bring a pan of water to a simmer over medium heat.
• Place a heatproof bowl over the simmering water, and add the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg white mixture is warm, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the pan. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
• Remove the bowl of ice cream from the freezer and gently invert it onto the cake, creating a dome shape. Remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream.
• Working quickly, use a spatula to spread a layer of meringue over the entire cake and ice cream dome so that it's fully coated.
• Using a kitchen torch, brown the peaks of meringue.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE BAKED ALASKA RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and position the rack nearest the heat. Peel the cardboard carton off the ice cream and cut the ice cream into 4 round slices. Pack the slices into four 6-ounce ramekins, transfer to a baking sheet and place in the freezer. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced pineapple and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the dulce de leche and cook, stirring, until the pineapple is lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of dulce de leche and transfer the pineapple to a plate. Place the plate in the freezer to cool the pineapple. Put the egg white in a clean mixing bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water and, using an electric mixer with clean beaters, beat the egg white and salt at high speed until firm peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Spoon the cooled pineapple over the ice cream along with any juices. Dollop the meringue over the pineapple and broil just until lightly toasted, about 45 seconds. Serve right away.
