Old-Fashioned Baked Alaska

Fun fact: Baked Alaskas were created at New York City's Delmonico's restaurant to celebrate the purchase of Alasaka in 1867. This one uses pistachio and cherry ice creams for the center.

Use a star tip to apply the meringue and serve with fresh blueberries and dacquoise cookies.

Use teacups to freeze layered ice cream and cake overnight. Then, pop out the balls of ice cream and apply the meringue.

Behold: the Baked Alaska for the chocolate lover. 

These minis are easier to make and way less messy to serve.

This cake has three layers of ice cream -- chocolate, vanilla, and coffee -- on top of moist vanilla cake (plus a surprise layer of chocolate sprinkles)!

Peaches and cream, anybody? Use peach and raspberry sorbet for the center. Serve with ripe peaches for a refreshing dessert.
