Baked Alaska

We have been playing around here in the bakery with our ChocoBlanka trying to make a fun “Baked Alaska” and creating a recipe for you our valued audiance.  We have developed a passion fruit, strawberry and chocolate baked Alaska which I am calling the Mt. Denali.  We made a passion fruit and a strawberry mousse then finished them with a chocolate fudge truffle cake base.  We have prepared them in our Demarle 1/2 Sphere molds and have frozen them overnight in our -20 freezer.

Passion Domes not glazed

Once they were frozen we popped them out of the molds and piped them with a French Meringue then once again placed them in the freezer overnight.  We then took our torch and fired the meringue.
