Amazing Baked Alaska Recipe 

Love baked Alaska. My husband did the flambe method and set a cupboard on fire. Interesting way to end a meal but it tasted okay after all the excitement was over. Lol.

I just want to say A HUGE THANK YOU John! I made your spice cake recipe for a baking competition, at work, and I won a $50.00 gift certificate. I tell everyone that your the one they want to go to when they want to look like a baking God or Goddess.

My dad used to make this in his restaurant back in the 70's. He would bring it out to the table and flambe it. Never got old. Awesome dessert.

I worked in a restaurant in the mid to late 60’s and this was their specialty dessert! It was so fun to make 5-10 of these depending on the day of the week or weekend. Your recipe did not call for drizzles of Hot Fudge (not chocolate) which makes this so rich! 🤤

Thank you! Just in time! I'm literally just about to start making a brownie bottom chocolate peanut butter baked alaska to go with our Christmas dinner!

Thank you John !! You have inspired me to get back into baking❤️ ty

Great holiday dessert! Thanks so much for spreading your holiday cheer!

Thank you for posting this! Growing up, my Grandma made this for my birthday a couple different times. As a kid, nothing more exciting than seeing your birthday cake on fire (flambe`) and then digging into some ice cream and cake heaven. I'm told the recipe is "old fashioned", so glad to see it today and hope it sparks some great memories for many others as it did for me.

You are the best, John! I hope your family is having a wonderful holiday season.

that looks so good john you did a perfect job I love it.

All the way through I was imagining what it would have been like if the family had helped on this recipe... :). Thank you for bringing them all onto the holiday cookie bake, it was so much fun to watch. Happy Holidays!

I was looking for the RU-vidr Baked Alaska but instead I found this delicious 😋 video. Cheers!

This looks so amazing.the cake looks great and I can’t wait to try this

Thank you, I always wanted to make one. Making it for Christmas.

I love that your using Turkey hill ice cream. It’s local to here and my favorite!!

What a great idea the ribbon handles!! Thank you John you saved my day, I have a ton of tips so I can make my grandson’s birthday cake. He specifically asked for this.

I love your tips and tricks!

When I was a kid in the ‘60s my mother had the brainstorm to make a baked Alaska, flambé style, for Sunday supper dessert. I’ll never forget how stressed out she was, between getting the steps done quickly and the expectation of possibly setting the dining table on fire. Lol It turned out great but she was totally anxiety ridden and never did it again!

Wow 🤩 you are amazing ! Thank you !

This is on my bucket list of recipes to make. This looks easy enough- even for me! Merry Christmas!

Preppy kitchen it looks amazing food we appreciate you uploading on RU-vid and preppy kitchen the best and kind cook

Your videos make me so happy! 😊

This looks so good!

I'd never had baked Alaska and only heard of it recently. After watching your video I decided to try. I had to play your video a few times over while in the kitchen, you were my guide! I made this last night and it was great!

Thank you for the wonderful dessert. The presentation was outstanding.

Does that bring back great memories!!! I made that in my 7th grade cooking class in 1972!!

This looks so amazing and delicious!

I love making baked Alaska. It’s such a deal dessert 🍨

OMG THAT LOOKS SO GOOD

It looks good cant what to try it!

I've made this many times. I've used a brownie base, too. I don't freeze the cake part, instead turning the frozen ice cream out onto the cake or brownie base. This makes cutting easier. I do pop mine into the oven. It's been a family favorite for decades.

Looks really yummy. Your video is great and clean, Love it. Keep up the amazing work.

Just love it

Wow!! That's awesome

Omg looks amazing

That looks totally tasty

Wow , your are the best, looks amazing 🥰 you and your family have a blessed holiday season

Indulgent, nice cake . Thank you and Merry Christmas¡¡

my goodness. so good.

Delicious and beautiful recipe 😋😋

Looks so good ready to get to baking!!!!!!!😄

Thank you for reminding me of this dessert. My mom used to make it for great occasions but she called it Omelette Surprise. Will be making it for New Years Eve.

John - okay, you need to tell Brian to try Tillamook mint choc chip ice cream. It's available in CT supermarkets (I get it in Oxford, CT). And the Baked Alaska looks amazing - thank you so much for this. I have spent many happy hours this past year watching your Preppy Kitchen videos. Keep up the great work and let us know how the farm is coming along if you get a chance. Merry Christmas! Cheers!

Loveee Alaska

Leftover egg yolks make great Lemon Curd with butter, sugar and lemons.

I made the Toffee and omg it’s to die for.. Thank you so much for Beautiful and simple recipes 😁👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️

Looks delicious 😋

If only I could trust myself with a handheld torch.. This looks delicious.

Your videos are the best

Flambée is missing…as a kid I was always hugely impressed with burning ice cream at a restaurant and insistent to have when listed on the menu..a real classic! Nice job

Great job 👏

Great video John 😊😊

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄🎅

This looks so good and I can’t wait to try it! May I ask where you got your copper pots and baking utensils? What brand are they?

Great video, btw I love your kitchen, I wish to one day have one as beatifull as yours.

It’s funny how i added your chocolate cake of 3 years ago in Watch later yesterday and then today while going through my subscribed list, i added this video to watch later. Both of them ended up one after the other. YOU’VE EVOLVED AS A RU-vidR!! 🤩

Hey john what substitute can I use instead of cream of tartar? I don’t like it. Thank you. Always love and enjoy your recipes.

This looks amazing and I can’t wait to give it a go! Can anyone explain how the pound/sponge cake isn’t frozen when you serve it, if it’s been in the freezer before serving?

Can't wait to make this ! * claps hands over and over* squeeeeee! My favorite dessert!

You taught me how to make baked Alaska years agooo. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and it’s funny how I’m hella stoned rn and I just got a notification for this.

Amazing!

My grandmother had one for my grandfather back in the early 80’s. I remember her saying that she had to take the ice cream out of the oven and thinking that it was hilarious!

I need to make this for pastry school, you make it look so much easier! Honestly though, I have no idea why the heck I need to learn this for baking school!!!?

I love your videos

Good

Looks great John! Never heard of this before. But it looks good to try! 😋 😋

Fab😍

AT THIS POINT YOUR A LIFESAVER EVERY RECIPE IS HERE WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A BAKED ALASKA

Can you freeze left over baked alaska ? How would you freeze it with the meringue?

I’m thinking this could work well as individual servings. It would make it easier to manage and could be great for if you have non-dairy family members. You could just scoop and re-freeze on a cookie sheet but if you want to go with the bowl method use small glass bowls.

My mouth is watering more than my eyes 👀

Wow

Hey, working in a bakery at an early age then later in commercial baking...I worked in pie manufacturing.. One day I fiddled around with merengue peaking... i found that if you used your fingers to sorta manipulate it, the peaks are more abundant and easier to toast. After i did that, the factory offered it to various restaurants and found they actually sold more.. so they made a point to learn what i did before i left. I was 14 when I first started in Vegas over holiday season. Yes i was paid... plus I met Arnold Schwarzenegger.. lol. Well that was later after i returned. No biggy.. the pie bakery was a restaurant up front.. like a Marie Calendars but actually had a bakery.. the company i worked for yrs later actually made pies for them too...along with others. Anyhow.... You don't need to touch more then the skin of the meringue once put on.. maybe a touch of massage but you can see by how it moved or peaked. Oddly the more you work it, it literally stiffened up and looked way cool.. then tipped a few spots to try and make it look evenly distributed... just like doing floral art... a mess persay but an organized mess... lol..

A New Year is coming. Please let's make some bake goodies for the masses. Healthy!! Don't get left behind....

Banana, coconut, and milk chocolate ice cream on a brownie base with candied pecans. Gotta go shopping now. . Old school cool recipe. 👍

Great video Great job. Missing why we would do this or name this baked Alaska. ICE CREAM CAKE.

can I use an italian or swiss meringue instead to guarantee structure? would it still work?

I love ice cream cakes! I’m always a bit leery of baker Alaska because it’s uncooked egg 🤷‍♀️

That was fabulous sweety, may try, don't know about torching it, lol

Hey where can I get a kitchen aid mixer like yours???I am in great need of one this christmas.please help!!!

Can this be layered in a springform pan because I think that would make it easier to unmold when time to coat with meringue and spring forms can take heat.

I was laughing when you kept thwapping the scoops of ice cream on the counter!🤣

I think i remember these with pineapple chunks, rum and coconut or banana cream. Something like that. Its a very old 20s recipe. Must look it up.

I don't have a kitchen torch, so the only way I've ever made it was under the broiler. It was fine, you just have to watch it closely.

Love it John! Is there anything I can use instead of plastic wrap that is more environmentally friendly?
