Baked Alaska, also known as Bombe Alaska, is a dessert of ice cream and cake topped with browned meringue. Ice cream is placed in a pie dish lined with slices of sponge cake or Christmas pudding and topped with meringue, then the whole dessert is placed briefly in an extremely hot oven, or torched, long enough to firm and caramelize the meringue without melting the ice cream underneath.
