Recipe For Individual Baked Alaskas
If you have space in your freezer, then this simple dessert is a great standby. It is economical enough for a family dinner or elegant enough for guests.
Ingredients :
1 fresh jam Swiss Roll
Meringue
Ice Cream
Sherry
Fit a slice of Swiss Roll into the base of individual ramekin(ovenware) dishes, pour over sherry, spoon in softened ice cream (flavour to taste) then cover with meringue.
These may be kept in the freezer for weeks at this stage.
When required, place in a pre heated hot oven for 6 minutes until golden.
Don't use any fruit, it freezes too hard.
Note: when making simple meringues, use 50g (2oz)-castor sugar for each whipped egg white.
