🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need
Base & Ice Cream Layers:
- Dairy-free ice cream (any flavor you love)
- Chocolate cake batter (enough for a small round pan)
Ganache Layer:
- ⅔ cup canned coconut milk
- 1 bar Pascha 55% Cacao Dark Chocolate, chopped
Vegan Meringue Coating:
- 1 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 How to Make Vegan Baked Alaska
Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Layer
Line a small dome-shaped bowl with plastic wrap. Fill it with your favorite dairy-free ice cream and smooth the top. Freeze overnight or until completely firm.
Step 2: Bake the Cake Base
Line a small round cake pan (same diameter as your bowl) with parchment paper. Fill with chocolate cake batter and bake according to your recipe. Let cool completely.
Step 3: Make the Ganache
In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk until just beginning to bubble. Chop Pascha 55% Cacao Chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until creamy and smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Layers
Place the cooled chocolate cake on a cake stand. Remove the frozen dome of ice cream from the bowl and place it on top of the cake. Pour the ganache over the ice cream dome, spreading evenly. Return to the freezer until firm.
Step 5: Make the Vegan Meringue
In a stand mixer, beat aquafaba and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. While mixing on medium-low, slowly add sugar. Increase speed and beat until stiff peaks form, then mix in vanilla extract.
Step 6: Cover & Toast
Spread or pipe the meringue over the cake and ice cream, covering as much as desired. Use a kitchen torch to gently brown the meringue edges. If you don’t have a torch, place under the oven broiler briefly — keeping a close eye so the ice cream doesn’t melt!
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Slice and serve immediately for a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Enjoy the contrast of creamy ice cream, fudgy cake, and toasted meringue!
