Baked Alaska is a classic dessert that combines a frozen ice cream dome on a cake base, all encased in a cloud of meringue. The meringue gets a quick blast of heat in a hot oven, browning it beautifully while keeping the ice cream inside still frozen. It's a showstopper that's surprisingly straightforward to assemble.
