Answers:
Baked Alaska (also known as glace au four, omelette à la norvégienne, Norwegian omelette and omelette surprise) is a dessert made of ice cream placed in a pie dish lined with slices of sponge cake or Christmas pudding and topped with meringue!. The entire dessert is then placed in an extremely hot oven for just long enough to firm the meringue!. The meringue is an effective insulator, and the short cooking time prevents the heat from getting through to the ice cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I didn't know what it was either, I heard for it from the sims 2 and always wondered what it was!.

Try This Mini Baked Alaska

1 loaf Madeira cake or sponge cake
3 tbsp raspberries jam (without pips if you prefer)
1 tub vanilla ice cream
6 egg whites
250g golden caster sugar

Cut the Madeira cake into 6 thick slices and cut a circle out of each!. Spread 1/2 tsp jam over each one and put on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment!. Put a scoop of ice cream onto each circle of cake and freeze for an hour or until you are ready to serve!.
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6!. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and add the sugar in 4 batches, whisking as you go until you have a stiff, shiny mixture (this will sit in the fridge for a few hours)!. Cover each Alaska with a thick layer of meringue, making it nice and spiky!. Bake for 3-4 minutes, the meringue should brown slightly without the ice cream melting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
