Peach Alaska Dessert

This ice cream dessert is made with sponge cake dessert shells, canned peaches, ice cream, and raspberry jam. This is an elegant and delicious dessert, and quite easy to prepare.

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• 3 egg whites
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 can (29 ounces) peach halves, drained
• 6 purchased sponge cake dessert shells
• 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam

Instructions:

Shape ice cream into 6 equal balls; put back in freezer. Let freeze hard before serving time.

Preheat oven to 450°.
In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Beat in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until meringue stands in stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla.

Place a peach half, hollow side up, on each dessert shell on a baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each hollow then top with a hard-frozen ice cream ball. Working quickly, frost each with meringue, spreading to completely cover and seal ice cream and shell, leaving no gaps.

Bake for about 3 minutes, or just until meringue is golden brown. Serve immediately.
Peach Alaska dessert serves 6.
