The history of Bombe Alaska

Legend has it that Jefferson asked for the ice cream to be encased in a hot pastry, creating one of the first versions of Baked Alaska. In 1804, American physicist Benjamin Thompson Rumford (who invented coffee percolators) was looking into the resistance of beaten egg whites to heat.

The meringue is a good insulator, and the short cooking time prevents the heat from getting through to the ice cream. Its name, but not the recipe, was made at Delmonico's Restaurant in 1867 to honour the new American territory of Alaska. February 1 is Baked Alaska Day.
