BAKED ALASKA
Steps:
- In a 2-quart bowl, fold the coffee liqueur into the chocolate mousse. Slice the cake into 1/2-inch thick slices. Line a 3-quart stainless steel mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Line the inside of the 3-quart plastic-lined bowl with one layer of the sliced cake. Then spread a layer of the chocolate mousse on the sliced cake. Then place a layer of the sliced strawberries on the chocolate mousse. Then layer a spoonful of soft ice cream. Keep repeating the layers until the bowl is filled to the top. Wrap the top of the bowl with plastic and freeze for 45 minutes to an hour, until the mousse has set.
- When you are ready to serve, make the meringue by whisking the egg whites. When the egg whites are half way whipped, begin to rain in the sugar. Keep mixing until whites form a soft peak.
- To unmold the layered cake, remove the top piece of plastic wrap. Place the serving plate upside down on the top of the bowl. Flip and remove the bowl. Remove the plastic that lined the bowl and spread the meringue over the whole exposed cake layer. Use a blowtorch to caramelize the meringue to a light golden color.
- Slice the dessert in wedges like a pie and serve.
- In a stainless steel bowl over a double boiler, melt together the chocolate, butter, vanilla, and the 2 tablespoons of water. Remove from heat when melted.
- In a separate stainless steel bowl over a double boiler, whisk together the egg yolks, the 3 tablespoons of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk until it thickens and doubles in size. Be sure to not let the egg yolks cook onto the sides of the bowl. You must constantly stir the egg yolk mixture when the bowl is placed over heat. Place the egg yolk mixture bowl in a ice water bath to cool, and bring down mixture to room temperature. Once it is cooled, fold the egg yolk mixture into the chocolate mixture.
- In a third bowl, whisk the egg whites, cream of tartar, and the 4 tablespoons of sugar together until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Be careful to not overmix the mixture and break down the fluffiness of the peaks.
- In a fourth bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped heavy cream into the chocolate mixture, again being careful to not over mix and break down the whipped ingredients. Refrigerate for an hour before use.
- Propane Gas Torch Warning: Propane gas torches are highly flammable and should be kept away from heat or flame, and should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight. Propane gas torches should only be used in well-ventilated areas. When lighting a propane gas torch, place the torch on a flat, steady surface, facing away from you. Light the match or lighter and then open the gas valve. Light the gas jet, and blow out the match. Always turn off the burner valve to "finger tight" when finished using the torch. Children should never use a propane gas torch without adult supervision.

Steps:
- Make the ice cream cake: Brush a 3-quart metal bowl with vegetable oil; line with plastic wrap. Fill the bowl with scoops of the sorbet, vanilla ice cream and half of the chocolate ice cream, alternating small and large scoops to create a mosaic of colors and shapes. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the ice cream; press down to close the gaps between scoops and even out the surface. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle the ice cream with the wafer crumbs and re-cover with the plastic wrap, pressing gently. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the wrap and spread the remaining chocolate ice cream in an even layer on top of the crumbs. Cut the pound cake into 1/2-inch-thick slices; completely cover the ice cream with the slices, trimming as needed (you'll use about two-thirds of the cake). Cover with fresh plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- Make the meringue: Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar on high speed until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
- Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, then invert the cake onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If necessary, let the cake stand overturned until it slips out.) Remove the rest of the plastic wrap and cover the ice cream completely with the meringue, making the dome-shaped top slightly thicker than the sides. Form swirly peaks in the meringue using the back of a spoon. Freeze for at least 3 more hours.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Bake the cake until the meringue peaks are golden, about 4 minutes, or brown the meringue with a blowtorch. Let the cake soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Freeze any leftovers.

Steps:
- Slice the cake into half-inch layers; cut the cake layers in such a way that you can form a large oval 1/2 - inch thick and 1- inch larger all around than your ice cream mold. Arrange the oval on the platter, cover airtight with plastic wrap, and set aside. Be sure oven is preheated to 450 degrees in time for step 2. Beating the meringue: Start beating the egg whites at moderate speed until they are foaming, beat in the salt and cream of tartar, then gradually increase speed to fast until egg whites form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar, sprinkling in 1/4 cup at a time, beating half a minute between additions. After all has gone in, add vanilla, and continue beating for several minutes at high speed until eggs form stiff, shiny peaks. Set aside ice-cream mold in a basin of tepid water, run a knife around edge, and unmold the sherbet or ice cream upon the cake in the platter. Immediately spread the meringue over it with a spatula, starting at bottom of cake and bringing it up to a peak at the top of the dessert. Meringue should be about 1- inch thick over the sherbet or ice cream, in order to insulate it from the heat of the oven. Sieve confectioner's sugar all over surface of meringue, making a layer about 1/16 -- inch thick. Browning: Set in upper-middle level of preheated 450 degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes, to brown meringue lightly. Just before serving, place a sparkler on top of the baked Alaska and light.
