Best 10 Strawberry And Chocolate Baked Alaska Recipes

STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE BAKED ALASKA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan; line bottom with parchment paper. Stir bittersweet chocolate, butter, and unsweetened chocolate in small saucepan over low heat until chocolates melt and mixture is smooth. Cool 10 minutes. Whisk 3/4 cup sugar and eggs in large bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Whisk in chocolate mixture. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt over; stir to blend. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until top looks dry and tester inserted into center comes out with some thick sticky batter attached, about 17 minutes. Cool cake in pan to room temperature.
• Cut around cake in pan. Place cutting board over pan and invert, tapping out cake. Peel off parchment. Using 3-inch round cutter, cut out 6 cake rounds (save remaining cake for another use). Line small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange cake rounds on prepared sheet. Using 2 1/4- to 2 1/2-inch-diameter ice cream scoop, place scoop of strawberry ice cream in center of each round, leaving about 1/4-inch plain border. Freeze until ice cream is solid, about 2 hours.
• Combine remaining 3/4 cup sugar and egg whites in large metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water and whisk until mixture is very warm, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Using electric mixer, beat meringue at high speed until very thick and billowy, about 2 minutes. Place baking sheet with cake rounds on work surface. Mound 2 heaping tablespoons meringue atop ice cream on 1 cake round. Spread meringue evenly over to cover, sealing meringue to plain cake border and swirling decoratively. Repeat with remaining desserts. Freeze uncovered on baking sheet until meringue is solid, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 500°F. Transfer desserts still on baking sheet from freezer directly to oven. Bake until meringue is deep brown in spots, turning sheet as needed for even cooking, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plates.

LEMONY BAKED ALASKA WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• For the sorbet: Mash the sorbet in a 7- to 8-inch-diameter bowl, then form it into a dome inside the bowl. (You may use between 2 and 3 pints depending on the size of your bowl.) Smooth the top and cover with plastic. Freeze for 8 hours or up to overnight.
• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a small pot over medium heat, then let cool. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine the sour cream, sugar, milk, vanilla and egg in another bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture in small batches, whisking as you go to avoid the formation of lumps. Stir in the melted butter and whisk until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and stir to blend. Transfer the batter to the greased baking pan, then gently tap the sides of the pan so it is evenly distributed. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then use a knife to scrape around the sides of the cake pan and invert the cake from the pan onto a cooling rack, to cool completely.
• For the fruit: Stir together the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the meringue: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whip the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until they gain volume, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the cream of tartar and the sugar, then whip until stiff peaks form and the whites are firm and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the whites to a disposable pastry bag (or sealable plastic bag) fitted with a star tip.
• Assemble the dessert: When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Transfer the cake layer to a large, round, ovenproof serving platter. (You are building a dessert on top of this cake, so the platter should be larger than the cake.)
• Remove the sorbet from the freezer and run a paring knife around the edges. Fill a large bowl with warm water and gently lower the sorbet bowl into the warm water to loosen the sorbet. (Be careful not to let any water get into the sorbet bowl.) Invert the sorbet bowl onto the cake so the flat part of the sorbet lays on the cake and creates a sorbet dome. Working quickly, squeeze out the meringue in little spurts to cover the whole surface of the sorbet and cake with little egg white spikes. Have fun with it.
• Bake until the meringue hardens and browns slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon the fruit around the meringue, then pour the gin around the edges of the platter and carefully light the fruit liquid so it burns a ring around the dessert as you serve it. (Use extreme caution when igniting alcohol.)

• In the meantime, transfer ice cream to the refrigerator to warm for 15 minutes. Line a 9-inch glass mixing bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on the sides.
• Remove one of the pints of pistachio ice cream and press into the bottom of the prepared bowl using a small rubber spatula. Smooth into an even layer and freeze for 15 minutes. Repeat the process with both pints of strawberry ice cream, freezing for 15 minutes between each pint.
• Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top layer of ice cream. Freeze until solid, 10 hours to overnight.
• Turn brownie out, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Gently whisk egg whites with superfine sugar and cream of tartar over top of a double boiler until eggs are warm to the touch the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour meringue into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip at a low speed until foamy. Increase speed and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
• Unwrap chilled brownie and place on a serving tray or cake stand. Grab the plastic wrap overhang and lift the ice cream dome out of the bowl, dunking the bottom of the bowl in warm water to help it release. Place dome flat-side down on top of the brownie.
• Quickly frost the dome with the meringue in a swirl pattern, covering the ice cream completely.
• Toast the meringue using a brulee torch, or broil until browned. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY BAKED ALASKA

Steps:

• INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Separate eggs, leaving yolks in one bowl and whites in another. 2. Combine flour, almond meal, unsweetened cocoa powder and light brown sugar. Set aside. 3. Add ½ cup of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until lemon in color. Stir dry mixture from step 2. 4. Add salt to egg whites and beat until stiff peaks hold.

Using a tip to pipe or a icing spatula, spread meringue all around the cake to desired finish. Then brulee with a kitchen torch or use the oven and bake the cake at 475 degrees F for approximately 6-7 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.

CHOCOLATE BAKED ALASKA

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 1 baking sheet with almond oil; set aside. Place the almonds on another baking sheet and toast them until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until a medium amber color. Remove the caramel from the heat, immediately add the almonds and stir quickly to thoroughly combine. Turn out onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading quickly to an even thickness. Allow the brittle to cool completely. Coarsely chop and reserve. Heat the milk, cream and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan until the sugar dissolves and the milk starts to simmer. Add the cocoa powder and chocolate and whisk until smooth. Place the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on high speed until pale yellow and ribbons form, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the stand and slowly whisk in the hot chocolate mixture. Pour the egg and chocolate mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thickened and the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Do not allow the mixture to boil! Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strain into a bowl set over an ice bath and stir in the coffee liqueur, vanilla and salt. Stir until the mixture is cold. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the custard and chill completely in the refrigerator, at least 4 and up to 24 hours. Pour the chilled custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. Stir in the coarsely chopped almond brittle. Spray a 2 quart glass bowl with cooking spray, line with plastic wrap and spray the plastic wrap. Scrape the ice cream into the bowl and smooth the top. The ice cream will not fill the bowl; you're looking for the larger surface of the ice cream to be about 8 inches in diameter. Press more plastic wrap over the top and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter 1 (9-inch cake) pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the sugars and whisk until dissolved. Add the coffee, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract and continue whisking until smooth. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a baking rack for 20 minutes. For the meringue: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Fill a medium saucepan 1/4 full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a simmer. Combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer and place over the saucepan. Whisk constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the whites are warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Transfer the bowl to the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high speed, whip until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the chocolate and mix until combined. Immediately fill a pastry bag, fitted with a #5 star tip, with the meringue.
• To assemble: Unmold the ice cream onto the cake and pipe the meringue onto the ice cream in a decorative fashion (or spoon the meringue over the ice cream and swirl with a rubber spatula). If the ice cream starts to soften, return the cake to the freezer for 15 minutes. Place in the oven and bake until the meringue just starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

BAKED STRAWBERRY ALASKA

Steps:

• To make the shortcake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sift the flour into the bowl of a food processor and add the sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Pour in the cream and process just until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until just golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• To make the topping, combine the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the orange juice and port and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until they hold soft peaks. Beat in the remaining sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Set meringue aside.
• Place the shortcake rounds on a cookie sheet. Pile each with strawberries and spoon some of the strawberry juice over the shortcakes. Top each with a scoop of ice cream and cover each with a generous layer of meringue (you may have some meringue left over). Use the back of a spoon to make decorative swirls in the meringue. Bake immediately until the meringue is delicately browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve at once with chocolate sauce (recipe follows) on the side.
