These Mini Baked Alaskas Are The Dinner Party Desserts We’ll Make All Summer

A show-stopping retro dessert that’s a clever case of assembly, these can be made ahead of time, so all you need to do is brown the meringue before impressing your special person with a pop of colourful ice cream.

And they really are impressive, with their layer of meringue encasing ice cream and a swirly layer of sponge.

You can make these in any containers, as long as they can go in the freezer. Line them to make tipping them out easier.
