Trifle Caked Alaska Ice Cream

What is it?

Trifle flavour runs through this baked Alaska-style ice cream dessert, with a sponge base, a layer of ice cream, and a soft meringue-style finish. It’s frozen rather than baked, so the texture mix is more about cold creaminess against light cake and marshmallow-like topping than a hot dessert shell. In M&S’s frozen dessert range, it sits closer to the plated pud end of the aisle than to a plain tub or cone. Expect familiar trifle notes, usually custard, fruit, and sponge, translated into an ice cream format.
