Easiest Baked Alaska

This famous 70’s dessert is making a comeback! Why? because who doesn’t like ice cream cake? 

When you see how easy and fun it is to make then you too will wonder why you didn’t make it before.

I did a layer of cake, 2 ice cream flavors, and a frosting. You can, of course, do as many layers of ice cream if you’d like. As an alternative, you can also use various flavors and even add in your favorite toppings.

For mine, I choose 2 cool summer flavors: Coolhaus Awesome Ice Cream Banana’s Foster and Strawberry Cheesecake. They are perfect for summer and each one has its own swirl of extra goodness inside.

The cake is walnut. My thoughts were: walnut, bananas, strawberries = A new take on the banana split. I hadn’t had one since I was a child and as soon as I took a bite, nostalgia set in.

For this Easiest Baked Alaska, you grab a medium bowl (mine had a 6″ diameter approx.) and line it with plastic wrap.

Then I added Coolhaus Strawberry Cheesecake flavor and added it to the bowl

I repeated the process with the Bananas Foster Flavor and froze them for about 2 hours or until completely firm

To assemble, you simply place the yummy walnut sponge on a cake plate and then top it with the ice cream.

Now the fun parts: frosting it with Italian meringue and torching it! 

That’s all. 

But wait, there’s more!
