The Baked Alaska Was Divine

The Easter dinner dessert turned out wonderfully.  And, I was very, very pleased.  I am sorry that this is the only photo I had time to take.  It looked so pretty when I served it. I used Neapolitan ice cream and the chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream  gave a nice color contrast.

How about a little trivia about Baked Alaska. This dessert was created to celebrate the United States purchase of Alaska from the Russians in 1867.  It was called Alaska-Florida Cake, but soon was changed to Baked Alaska. Supposedly it was popularized worldwide by Jean Giroix, in 1895 by the chef at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. So, now you know!


It was yummy!

Wishing you a Fabulous Day.
