Question:

How do you make a Baked Alaska without it melting?


Answers:

When making a Baked Alaska, the meringue acts as an insulator, so it keeps the oven's heat from getting to the ice cream. The cake at the bottom of the pan keeps the heat away from the ice cream as well. Baked Alaska recipes are generally the same, a cake, ice cream, and a meringue. The general rule of thumb is to construct the cake and ice cream base of the Baked Alaska, and then freeze them before you make the meringue. That way, right when you are finished with the meringue, you can spoon the meringue on the ice cream until it is covered completely and bake it in a very hot oven. The ice cream will be insulated by the meringue, and the ice cream won't melt.
