Claire Saffitz Makes Baked Alaska | Dessert Person

Claire Saffitz Makes Baked Alaska | Dessert Person Many thanks to KitchenAid for partnering with Claire and furnishing her new kitchen with not only their amazing Smart Oven+ but an entire suite of beautifully crafted and impeccably designed major appliances, including the FreeFlex Third Rack Dishwasher. Baked Alaska, consisting of molded ice cream set atop a sponge cake base and covered in toasted meringue, is not exactly a simple dessert, but there are ways to make it simpler: definitely use store-bought ice cream, assemble it in stages, and rely on your oven to do the work. In this episode, Claire shows you a summery, strawberry-laced, individualized spin on Baked Alaska using her new KitchenAid Smart Oven. The KitchenAid Smart oven syncs with a mobile app so it’s convenient and seamless to set and check timers and control and change temperatures from anywhere. #clairesaffitz #bakedalaska #cake Roasted Strawberry Baked Alaskas Makes 4 Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream Base 8 ounces (226g) strawberries, hulled and chopped 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest 1 pint strawberry ice cream Sponge Cake ¾ cup cake flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ⅛ teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch 3 large eggs (150g), whites and yolks separated, at room temperature ½ cup granulated sugar (100g), divided ¼ cup neutral oil (56g), such as grapeseed or peanut ¼ cup buttermilk (60g), at room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar Italian Meringue 3 large egg whites (105g) ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar Pinch of kosher salt 1 tablespoon light corn syrup ½ cup granulated sugar (100g) Thanks for watching!
