   • Ensure the pastry shell is well-chilled after baking. This step helps maintain its structure when assembling the Baked Alaska.

2. Prepare Base:

   • Spread the bottom of the chilled pastry shell with strawberry jam or topping, ensuring to reserve a little for drizzling over the top later.

3. Soften Ice Cream:

   • Soften the strawberry ice cream to room temperature to make it easier to work with.

4. Whip Ice Cream:

   • Using an electric mixer, beat the softened ice cream until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

5. Layer Ice Cream:

   • Spread the whipped ice cream evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie shell, creating a mound in the center for added visual appeal.

6. Freeze Base:

   • Place the assembled pie in the freezer immediately to firm up while you prepare the meringue topping.

7. Prepare Meringue:

   • In a clean mixer bowl, whip the egg whites until they become very frothy.

8. Add Cream of Tartar:

   • Add the cream of tartar to the frothy egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

9. Gradually Add Sugar:

   • Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until they become stiff and glossy.

10. Spread Meringue:

    • Spread the prepared meringue evenly over the ice cream in the pie shell, ensuring to seal the edges well.

11. Bake:

    • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
    • Place the assembled Baked Alaska in the preheated oven and bake until the meringue topping is slightly browned, approximately 4-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

12. Final Touch:

    • Once baked, remove the Strawberry Baked Alaska from the oven and drizzle the remaining strawberry jam or topping over the top of the meringue for an extra burst of flavor.

13. Serve and Enjoy!

    • Allow the Baked Alaska to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries for an added touch of elegance.
