To Assemble the Baked Alaska

1.

Spread curd on top of cake in an even layer. Remove ice cream from freezer and invert over lemon curd, forming a dome-shaped ball of ice cream.

Once the baked alaska is complete and ready to be served, use a mini blow torch to brown the meringue. Enjoy this LICHTIGEN Chanuka treat!
