Coconut rum baked alaska
Alcoholic beverages
Baking
The raison d’etre of Baked Alaska is the contrast between the cold, smooth ice cream within and the hot chewy, marshmallowy meringue without. This novel dessert is achieved by insulating the ice cream with sponge cake beneath and meringue everywhere else, and then quickly browning the meringue in a hot oven, then serving right away with or without flames. <br /> <br /> The dessert was traditionally made with vanilla ice cream but I’ve always preferred coffee or lemon until someone recently suggested coconut, and I was hooked. Last but not least, coconut and rum is a food combination for the gods. If you can’t find coconut ice cream, just fold 1/ 2 cup (or more to taste) sweetened, shredded coconut and a bit of coconut extract if you have it on hand into softened vanilla ice cream. Just be sure to refreeze before continuing. <br /> <br /> Everyone adores Baked Alaska. Add coconut and dark rum and it’s irresistible.
