Baked Alaska
Good House Keeping - US|May 2022

1867

This dessert was created to celebrate the U.S.'s purchase of the Alaska Territory more than 150 years ago.

NOW A kitchen torch makes it easy to achieve that golden-brown cap. Sparklers optional!

MINI MAGIC!

Bake your favorite cake on a parchment-lined 177/2- by 127/2-in. rimmed baking sheet, then punch out smaller circles and use smaller bowls to mold the ice cream.
