Omelette Norvegienne

Omelette Norvégienne, also known as Baked Alaska, is a classic dessert made with sponge cake, ice cream, and meringue.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Place the sponge cake on a serving platter.
Spread the vanilla ice cream evenly over the sponge cake, creating a thick layer.
Place the cake with ice cream in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy.
Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Remove the cake with ice cream from the freezer and spread the meringue mixture over the entire cake, covering it completely.
Use a spatula to create decorative peaks on the meringue.
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Slice and serve the Omelette Norvégienne immediately.
