Mini Baked Alaska


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet of brownies
  • 1 quart ice cream
  • 1 jar Hot Fudge Sauce
  • Peppermints (crushed)
  • For the Meringue
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar


Instructions

  1. Slice the brownie into thin 1/4-inch slices. Using a round cookie cutter that fits the top of a muffin tin, cut out 12 circles.
  2. Line a muffin pan with plastic wrap. Be sure to push the plastic wrap down into each individual mold to get full coverage.
  3. Fill each plastic wrap-lined muffin tin 3/4 of the way with strawberry ice cream. Top each ice cream filled muffin tin with one of the rounds cut out of pound cake and lightly press down.
  4. Put the muffin pan back into the freezer and freeze until the ice cream hardens. About 30 minutes or until firm.
  5. When ready to serve, pop the desserts out of the muffin pan. Pull on the plastic wrap to help pop the desserts out.
  6. In a bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer with the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks. Beat in sugar in a slow stream, until meringue just holds stiff peaks.
  7. Top each dessert with a meringue and broiled them until they just beginning to caramelize on top or use baking and pastry butane torch to do this more evenly without causing any of the ice cream to melt.
