Soft and chewy marshmallow nougat studded with add-ins like biscuits or cookies, freeze-dried or dried fruits, matcha or nuts — every combo yields a chewy yet lightly crisp bite that will have you reaching for just one more.

A Baked Alaska is one of the grandest desserts to exist. It is a show stopper for the holidays or special occasion. I fully support using store-bought ice creams to reduce the work and most of it can be done days in advance and kept in the freezer. The final torching of the meringue makes for a dramatic flourish before serving!
