When was the last time you and your sweetie enjoyed some luscious strawberry ice cream topped with a decadent, sweet meringue that tastes like toasted marshmallows? Can’t remember? Well then, it’s time to make some Baked Alaska for Two, and it will only take about 20 minutes from start to flourish!

You can serve these Mini Baked Alaska in less than 20 minutes from start to flourish with only four ingredients and absolutely no baking! 

Falling in love never tasted so good!   PIN this recipe to save! 

I used strawberry ice cream for my Mini Baked Alaska in honor of Valentine’s Day. However, feel free to use whatever your favorite flavor of ice cream is. And of course, by all means, don’t reserve these strictly for February 14th. Go ahead and indulge yourself (and your loved ones) with this delicious, and easy to make treat, any day of the year.

My husband and I don’t usually do much to celebrate Valentine’s Day anymore. Since we’ve been married going on 36 years, the pomp and circumstance of Valentine’s Day has faded a bit. That said, we do like to celebrate Valentine’s Day by having something special for dinner (go figure, LOL). These deliciously charming, individual ice cream treats smothered with a fluffy cloud of toasted sweet meringue, sure fit that bill! Pin this recipe to save!

On a quick side note; even though you’ll noticing me wielding a small kitchen culinary torch in the video, you don’t need one to make this recipe. If you have access to a broiler, you’re good to go. Just make sure to keep a close eye on them while they’re under the broiler, and only keep them under the broiler until the tops are lightly golden. Remove them immediately once the meringue is lightly golden brown. *Note – an affiliate link for the culinary torch will be listed below if you’re interested in ordering one.
