Love this! Reminds me of the “Italian Job” gelato recipe sprinkled with olive oil and fennel pollen I adapted from NYC restaurant Lilia for easy home cooking! Just one scoop can waylay a Mafia Mobster's most nefarious plottings.
Wow, reading this reminds me that for a few years I made Baked Alaska for my kids' birthday cakes. I seem to have mostly blocked out my memories of how I did it. I'm a very, let's say, cavalier cook. So they were never gorgeous creations like yours. Mine were pretty sloppy, frankly. But even so guests were amazed. I used Amy Sedaris's brownie recipe for the base. I cannot remember anything about the ice cream or how I made, applied, or browned the merengue. We served it in bowls because the "slices" were so messy. But it was delicious and fun. Jeez, who was that woman.
