CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO BAKED ALASKA
One recipe brownies (CLICK HERE).
Pistachio Ice-cream (We used Ben and Jerry’s)
Meringue
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed
in an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beat in the sugar gradually in a
slow stream until stiff peaks form.
Use a round cookie cutter and cut brownies into individual servings.
Place on wax paper and freeze for at least 30
minutes.
Scoop pistachio ice-cream onto
brownie and freeze for another hour.
Make meringue and cover brownie and ice-cream completely. (You can spoon it on or pipe it using a
pastry bag). Freeze for at least 2 more
hours.
Place in a 500F oven until golden
brown or you can do it like the pros and torch it!
Serve immediately.
Haylee’s Note:
Baked Alaska has always been pretty intimidating to me, especially
because this was my first time making meringue.
It isn’t particularly hard, but it DOES take a long time. I think this would be a good dessert for
company though because everything is prepped and ready hours before. I did a second baked Alaska with mint
chocolate chip and I’m not sure which we liked better, they were both
excellent!
