American physicist Benjamin Thompson deserves our deepest gratitude for his discovery of how to make meringue in the 1800s. This led to the creation of this delicious treat. Baked Alaska is the highlight dish and meringue is one of its key components.

Baked Alaska is an exceptional dessert that is very unique. Some even consider it magical. It’s not magic, though it is fun. However, it’s very scientific. It’s now time to find out more about baked Alaska. Baked Alaska is made by placing a slice of sponge cake into a pie plate, then filling it with vanilla cream. Finally, cover it with a mixture of whipped meringue. To allow the meringue mixture to set slightly, the whole thing is baked in the oven for a brief time.

Most people expect ice cream to melt instantly when it is placed in a hot oven. But, it doesn’t. It retains its cool. It keeps the ice cream from melting by protecting it with meringue. This gives this dessert its unique cold/hot sensation, creamy/crunchy texture and distinctive taste.

There are a few stories about the origins of this dessert. Another story states that the sweet treat was named in honor of America’s acquisition, 1867, by Delmonico’s Restaurant in New York. The famous restaurant still serves this dish after being open for more than 150 years.

Another story tells that the dessert was named by Antoine Alciatore, a chef at Antoine’s Restaurant, New Orleans, Louisiana. Whatever the reason, it was the same: To celebrate Alaska’s territory, which became 49th of 50 US states in 1959, alongside Hawaii.

Norwegian Omelette is a lesser-known name that pays homage to the dessert’s distinctive appearance as a snow-covered mountain. It has been called Omelette Surprise, Siberian Omelette and Omelette Surprise in other countries. Most people agree that this treat, frozen and mountainous, is just right when it’s called Omelette Surprise or Siberian Omelette to honor the northernmost US state.
