Baked Alaska with Blackcurrant Sorbet
Baked Alaska is a fascinating dessert enjoyed all around the world. In my version, I use blackcurrant sorbet beneath the torched meringue. It’s the perfect dessert, offering soft, crispy, sweet, salty, and cold elements all in one. But what truly sets it apart is the dramatic effect when it's cut open—it’s a showstopper. With multiple layers and textures, this dessert comes together as a spectacular treat.
