Baked Alaska is a classic dessert that combines layers of sponge cake, ice cream, and a fluffy meringue topping, which is browned in the oven or with a torch. Originating from the United States, it gained popularity in the 19th century and showcases a dramatic contrast of hot and cold elements. While visually impressive and indulgent, Baked Alaska is not a health-focused option. It tends to be high in sugar due to the ice cream and meringue and contains significant calories from the cake and fats in the dairy-based ice cream. It lacks substantial nutrients or fiber. However, it can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation, and variations using lower-fat ice cream or alternative sweeteners may improve its nutritional profile for those looking to indulge with slightly less guilt.
