Bombe Alaska combines toasted meringue, lemon ice-cream, and pistachio sponge for a delightful dessert. The lemon ice-cream melts into a mousse-like texture, ideal for events requiring precise timing. The pistachio sponge adds texture and subtle nuttiness, all encased in elegantly torched meringue. It's approachable yet celebratory, evoking retro charm and joy, while the recipe is easy to follow, suitable for entertaining.
There's a touch of theatre to a bombe Alaska: the soft swoops of toasted meringue, the hidden layers revealed at the slice, the contrast of cold and flame.
This one takes its cue from lemon meringue pie, reimagined as an icy dessert with a gently tangy heart.
