Peach Baked Alaska

1. 1

   Wash, halve and pit the peaches.

2. 2

   Put a large scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each peach like a bowl. Put peaches filled with ice cream in the freezer.

3. 3

   When you're ready to serve, preheat the oven on broil at 450 degrees.

4. 4

   Separate the egg whites into your prepared metal or glass bowl (see notes) and beat with an electric mixer until foamy.

5. 5

   Next, add the cream of tartar and, beating on medium-high speed, slowly add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time over 2-3 minutes until the meringue becomes smooth, glossy and stiff peaks form.

6. 6

   Place frozen peaches on the frozen baking sheet and carefully spread meringue over ice cream using a spoon or spatula, creating a decorative spiky/peak pattern using the back of your spatula/spoon.

7. 7

   Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until meringue is golden brown and lightly crisp. Alternately, drizzle finished meringue with brandy or Gran Marnier and flambe just before serving!
