Vegan Baked Alaska just happened and it is so easy and so delicious!
I’ve used my recent Brownie Box Mix Hack for the base of these Baked Alaskas, but I have several scratch brownie recipes for you to choose from if you prefer!
All the recipes are below and believe me they are all fast and easy!
With my favorite Haagen Dazs Ice cream (Peanut Butter Chocolate) and a quick Italian Aquafaba Meringue you will be eating these awesome treats in no time!
The cool thing about this recipe, is they can be made in advance, as the meringue holds up pretty well in the freezer.
So if you wanted to serve these as a fancy dessert option at your next Vegan Dinner Party, these are a really friendly “make-ahead” option!
Vegan Baked Alaska
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- ½ Recipe Box Brownie or anyfull recipe brownie of your choice baked in a 9" x 12" pan
- 1 recipe Italian Aquafaba Meringue
- 2 Pints of your favorite vegan ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the brownie as per the recipe instructions, bake in a greased & parchment lined 9" x 12" pan
- Cool and then cut into desired portion size with a cookie cutter
- Scoop the ice cream to top the brownies and freeze while you prepare the aquafaba meringue
- You will follow the recipe for the Italian Meringue Buttercream, BUT do not add the butter or shortening! You will only prepare the meringue using the first 4 ingredients listed on that recipe only!
- Prepare as per the instructions and video tutorial on that blog post and then top the baked Alaska's with the meringue with a pastry bag
- Using a blow torch (or under a hot broiler for just 20-30 seconds) brown the meringue
Notes
Finished Baked Alaskas can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week, but they are best made and served fresh.
How long will the meringue last without deflating? Thanks!
Hi Gretchen,
I’m going to try to make your Aquafaba Meringue for the baked Alaska and have a quick question.
Do you need to add agar to the aquafaba ii only making the meringue to cover the baked Alaska?
You don’t specify that in this recipe so I thought I should double check before starting the process.
Thank you
Hey Gretchen,
I just wanted to follow up again and ask you if you put agar into the Aquafaba Meringue for your baked Alaska?
I’m hoping that you do not need it.

Thank you
