This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Black-and-White Baked Alaska. It's the kind of icecream treat that is tolerable in winter as it is served warm.
This Baked Alaska has a dense, fudgy, brownie base that collapses on cooling to form a "dish" for the vanilla icecream filling. It is then topped with meringue before baking and serving.
I enjoyed this dessert but found it to be very rich. Even with the reduced size, half was too much for me. There is also a lot of fussing involved in making this dessert and more washing up than I care for, so it won't be a regular at my place.

looks like this is best for a dinner party or a crowd - I think a small piece would do me but I am impressed with the idea of fudgy base to a bombe alaska!
I can see how ice cream would not travel well. Looks like it came out well though. At least you can store in the freezer for a long time.
Yup a ton of work but it was tasty. I think I'd rather order this in a restaurant as opposed to making it at home next time!
Looks delicious! I would have been quite happy eating the entire thing myself (over time).
I laughed at your comment that this would be a "tolerable ice cream dessert in the winter"...I have never turned down ice cream...winter or not haha!
Hmm I'm fascinated by this because I can't imagine how it would taste!
Happy to see the use of that little pan came in handy! Small sizes rule here, too. Gone are the days when the boys were home and there was no such thing as a leftover. Ever. Your dessert looks interesting and difficult...I need to read it and see if I could envision myself tackling this one without your experience with things like this.
