Peach Baked Alaskas With Spiced Peahces And Raspberries

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Frozen all-butter pound cake - (16 oz) - thawed
1   Peach ice cream - (or 2 pints)
8   Egg whites (large)
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlCream of tartar
1 cup 198g / 7ozPowdered sugar
  Spiced Peaches And Raspberries - (see recipe)

Recipe Instructions

Cut pound cake on diagonal into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices. Using 3 1/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out 1 round from each slice; top each with 1 scoop ice cream. Transfer to baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.

Transfer 1 cake-ice cream piece to work surface. Spread 1 scant cup meringue over, swirling to make peaks and covering completely. Return to sheet in freezer. Repeat with remaining cake-ice cream pieces and meringue. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep frozen.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake until meringue is light golden, about 5 minutes. Serve with Spiced Peaches and Raspberries.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
