So exciting! So fun to do with my torch! Everybody thought it was just delicious. So better than your store bought ice cream cake.

This is seriously the ultimate show stopping party food. Once the blow torch comes out, it's game over. Got devoured after a cookout today, kids and adults alike!
Entertaining aside, the meringue is good. Kinda like marshmallow creme. The 8 ounces of sugar was too sweet so I reduced it to 6 ounces sugar and it was spot on. Let it cool to room temp!
Important: If you're using regular non pasteurized eggs, they take a lot less time to reach medium/stiff peaks.
The ice cream, make sure to let it freeze rock hard. Strawberry is good, but chocolate is perfect; the bitterness pairs perfectly with the sweet toasted meringue. Basically turns into a giant s'mores ice cream cake. Who doesn't want that?
Cake, boxed mix is okay. But when I used chiffon cake it was much better. Just bake 1/4 of a chiffon cake recipe into a bread loaf pan lined with cooking-sprayed and floured parchment paper and you're good to go.
Go steal the show with a blow torch, that is.

Absolute perfection!
I couldn't resist the temptation after seeing the Good Eats episode and sure enough Alton never disappoints! If you follow the recipe word for word - and the techniques step by step - there is NO WAY you can mess this up.
This was the first time I baked my own Alaska. I used chocolate fudge ice cream - my husbands favorite - and let me tell you the "jury" was very skeptical about it but it worked perfectly with the silky meringue and the buttery cake!
This is one of Alton's many recipes that have made me "famous"!!!
