I ALWAYS learn really good things here.
Use 2 teaspoons of glycerine in the sponge recipe to stop the cake from cracking when you roll it round the ice-cream. Make Italian meringue not Swiss meringue to coat the baked alaska then you can pipe the meringue to give a more professional finish.
Great job… looks amazing
Can you frost it in advance and put back into freezer then bake after dinner?
I've had it once- 50 years ago as a child, my Aunt Ruth made it. IT Was SPECTACULAR!
I'm going to try this. I'll let you know how it turns out

Не чего не понимаю, это мороженое.
Такие прекрасные женщины .😉
Hey @America's Test Kitchen, what brand of dry jarred spices do you use?????
Looks great ladies, Thanks
The ice cream’s “is best by” date was April 10, 2017. I doubt they used ice cream that wasn’t fresh. I am shocked that their production schedule is so far behind. How long does it take them to upload a video after the initial filming? I wish they had a “behind the scenes” video showing all of the steps taken to film an episode from the initial planning to filming to post-production.
7:10 lol
That seems like a lot of work for basically cake and ice cream
I want… but I don't want to make. 😧
I like that they actually baked the baked Alaska. A lot of people just use a blowtorch to cook the meringue these days and don't bother with the oven at all.
looks like u wrapped a bologna(baloney) haha kidding.
Man, really labour intensive, but looks so good
I'll see you later…No I'll see you later. Ide like too see that action sooner.
She likes that log shape…Throwing a hot dog down the hallway…
So does this have to be eaten in one sitting, or can it be refrozen…? Not sure how the meringue lasts over time when keeping the ice cream frozen. Looks fun to make!
Used to get a Neapolitan Baked Alaska at our favorite wine cellar but it closed a few years ago and haven had it since. Im gonna try this for sure! Thanks ladies.
But will it become christian and start rapping terribly at me?
wow!!!!!!
she likes the 11 inches. also 7:09
Wonder how often she says "This guy's nice and hard"
Did I wake up in 1987
Toooo sweet? What is that when talking about Baked Alaskan??
Did Julia reference the Beastie Boys?
Reupload?
Awesome
All the previous America's Test Kitchen videos I've watched have been no-frills dialogue style with me, the viewer. This whole thing with the dialogue between the two women instead of me feels really cheesy, overly fake, and patronizing.
If u have the silkomart log mold u can make something like that with out all the crafting
Why even bother blurring the brand
