Baked Alaska is my favorite dessert to bring out when I want to genuinely impress a table full of people without spending the entire day stressed in the kitchen. A rich, dense chocolate brownie base is topped with creamy ice cream, wrapped in a thick cloud of fluffy meringue, and toasted until golden and beautiful. The outside is warm and marshmallowy while the inside stays perfectly cold and creamy, which makes every slice feel extraordinary. I make it for dinner parties, holiday tables, and special celebrations because nothing gets a reaction quite like it. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the freezer for up to 2 months.
