Betty Crocker Peppermint Brownie Baked Alaskas

One of my first “fancy” restaurant experiences was at a seafood place in Minneapolis, MN. What I remember most about it was the fabulous dessert—my first introduction to Baked Alaska. I loved that it came in an individual portion, which as child made me feel so important! I loved the variation of textures, temperatures, colors, and flavors. If you’re looking for a dessert recipe to make someone feel very special, I’d highly recommend these personal-sized Peppermint Brownie Baked Alaskas!

The combination of chocolate and peppermint has long been a favorite of mine. These Peppermint Brownie Baked Alaskas combine those flavors in the most perfect way. The brownie base is fudgy and chewy—studded with chunks of semisweet chocolate for texture. The ice cream is soft and creamy, and the meringue is light and sweet. The individual portions make everyone feel like royalty! While the dessert combines rich elements, it is surprisingly refreshing thanks to the mint!
