Baked Alaska

 Hi  

Way back in the nineteen sixties, the dessert Bombe Baked Alaska was THE dessert for the times.  It was always brought to a table where there were no less than four people.  A big dessert for a group.

When I was in New Plymouth a few weeks back, I went to Area 41 restaurant and on the menu was Bombe Baked Alaska.  And it was in individual portions!  I was so excited.

Baked Alaska is a tower of ice cream, with a biscuit base, covered completely in meringue and finished off in the oven ... and the ice cream doesn't melt! 

The Baked Alaska came to my table, had alcohol poured onto it, and then it was lit.  I felt so spoilt..
