Ingredients Needed:
- 2 large free-range eggs (separated)
- 100g caster sugar
- 1 hot cross bun (halved)
- 4 tablespoons sherry or elderflower cordial
- 2 tablespoons hazelnut chocolate spread
- 1 x 415g tin of peaches in juice (drained)
- 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
- 1 handful of unsalted hazelnuts (chopped)
How To Make Air Fryer Baked Alaska:
- Prepare the meringue: Separate the eggs and whisk the whites with a pinch of sea salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar while whisking until glossy.
- Prepare the base: Halve the hot cross bun and drizzle the sherry over the cut sides. Spread hazelnut chocolate spread on each half, then place peach slices on top.
- Assemble: Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of one bun half. Spoon or pipe meringue over the ice cream and bun, fully covering it. Tap with a spoon to create peaks.
- Air fry: Transfer to the air fryer and cook at 190°C for 5 minutes or until the meringue is golden. Roast hazelnuts in a separate air fryer drawer.
- Finish and serve: Let the Alaska sit for 1–2 minutes to crisp up. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over and serve immediately. Repeat for the second Alaska.
Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature eggs: Cold eggs are harder to whip into stiff peaks, so allow them to reach room temperature before whisking.
- Whisk the meringue properly: Make sure your bowl and whisk are clean and dry, as even a bit of grease can prevent the meringue from forming stiff peaks.
- Cover the ice cream completely: Ensure the meringue fully covers the ice cream, as it acts as insulation during air frying, preventing the ice cream from melting.
- Greaseproof paper for easy transfer: Place the hot cross buns on greaseproof paper before assembling to make it easier to move into the air fryer.
