Steps:
- For the ice cream center: Spray a 4 1/2- to 5-quart metal bowl with nonstick spray and line with plastic wrap. Create a first layer using the softened cherry chocolate chip ice cream, then freeze for 30 minutes.
- Add the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream for the second layer and freeze again for 30 minutes.
- Add the softened chocolate chocolate chip ice cream for the third layer, then top with a layer of angel food cake. Cover in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
- For the meringue: Using a stand or electric hand-held mixer, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and whisk again. With the machine running, add the sugar a little at a time and whisk until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
- Remove the ice cream bomb from the freezer and take off the plastic wrap on top. Turn out the frozen ice cream and cake onto a plate so that the cake layer is in contact with the plate and you have a dome.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the dome and cover with the meringue, making peaks. Brown with a kitchen blowtorch and serve.

Steps:
- Make the ice cream cake: Brush a 3-quart metal bowl with vegetable oil; line with plastic wrap. Fill the bowl with scoops of the sorbet, vanilla ice cream and half of the chocolate ice cream, alternating small and large scoops to create a mosaic of colors and shapes. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the ice cream; press down to close the gaps between scoops and even out the surface. Remove the plastic wrap, sprinkle the ice cream with the wafer crumbs and re-cover with the plastic wrap, pressing gently. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the wrap and spread the remaining chocolate ice cream in an even layer on top of the crumbs. Cut the pound cake into 1/2-inch-thick slices; completely cover the ice cream with the slices, trimming as needed (you'll use about two-thirds of the cake). Cover with fresh plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- Make the meringue: Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar on high speed until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks.
- Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, then invert the cake onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (If necessary, let the cake stand overturned until it slips out.) Remove the rest of the plastic wrap and cover the ice cream completely with the meringue, making the dome-shaped top slightly thicker than the sides. Form swirly peaks in the meringue using the back of a spoon. Freeze for at least 3 more hours.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Bake the cake until the meringue peaks are golden, about 4 minutes, or brown the meringue with a blowtorch. Let the cake soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Freeze any leftovers.
PEACH JAM AND BOURBON PECAN BAKED ALASKA
This classic retro dessert gets a Southern twist. The peach jam adds a layer of decadence. The quintessential Southern favorite moon pie makes this a dessert that is not only delicious but can be made in a fraction of the time that it usually takes to make a baked Alaska.

Steps:
- To 4 to 6 individual small trifle bowls, evenly divide and put the moon pies at the base. Top with the ice cream and freeze for 30 minutes.
- For the peach chutney: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the fennel seeds. Cook until they start to crackle, then add the peaches along with the brown sugar, orange juice and zest, salt and chile powder and cook over medium-high heat until the peaches are reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- For the Italian meringue: Combine the granulated sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat, cleaning the sides with water and a pastry brush to make sure that there are no sugar granules (which might caramelize) until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, then remove from the heat and add the bourbon.
- To a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, blend the egg whites and cream of tartar until they form stiff peaks. On a low speed, add the sugar syrup to the meringue, and mix until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Add the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and set aside until ready to use.
- Evenly divide and top each trifle bowl with some cooled chutney and 1 tablespoon salted caramel. Pipe the meringue on top. Use a blowtorch to carefully toast the top of the meringue, then serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the base: Bake each box of spice cake according to the package instructions in parchment-lined half-sheet pans, jelly roll pans or rimmed cookie sheets. Let cool.
- Line 2 deep 6- to 8-inch freezer-safe bowls with plastic wrap. Using a 4-inch round cookie cuter, cut out 2 circles of cake and place 1 in the bottom of each bowl. Layer about half a pint of softened pumpkin ice cream on top of each layer of cake. Using a 5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 2 more circles of cake and place them on top of the pumpkin ice cream. Layer about half a pint of softened salted caramel ice cream on top of each layer of cake. Using a 7-inch cookie cutter cut out 2 more circles and layer them on top of the salted caramel ice cream. On one of the bowls layer the remaining pumpkin ice cream on top of the top layer of cake. (The second bowl should have its top layer as cake and not ice cream.) Freeze both bowls until completely solid, 4 hours up to overnight.
- Unmold the cake and ice cream layers from the bowls and press the flat-edges together to make a ball.
- For the crumb coating: Using 1 container of store bought vanilla frosting (or homemade vanilla buttercream) frost the entire outside of the ball until fully covered. If necessary pop the cake into the freezer if the ice cream starts to melt while frosting.
- Place the remaining cake scraps into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Coat the entire exterior with the crumbs and place back into the freezer until frozen solid, about 2 hours.
- For the meringue: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and egg whites until combined. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is very hot. Carefully transfer the contents of the bowl to the mixer and whisk on medium-high speed until fluffy and slightly cooled, about 4 minutes. Add the cinnamon, salt and food coloring to make pumpkin-orange and whisk on medium to combine.
- For the decorations: Roll gum paste out and cut into the eyes, mouth, stem and vines and decorate the pumpkin, if using.
- Remove the ice cream and cake ball from the freezer. Unmold the cake from the the bowls and remove the plastic wrap. Place the ball on a serving plate. Spread the meringue over the ball or transfer the meringue to a pastry bag and pipe it over the ball.
- Make a comb to make the pumpkin grooves: Cut the outer hard ring of a plastic deli container lid off. Cut out the shape of "3" on one side of the lid (discard the cut out piece). In one motion, us the shaped lid to comb the meringue from the bottom to the top of the cake. Clean the excess meringue off of the comb and repeat until the pumpkin is fully grooved. (If desired, use a kitchen torch to slightly brown the meringue in the grooves to add dimension).
- Decorate the pumpkin with with the gum paste eyes, mouth, stem, vines and leaves.
- Return the pumpkin to the freezer until ready to serve.
- To serve: Gently heat the whiskey in a small saucepan over a low flame or in the microwave in a heat-proof gravy boat or glass measuring cup until hot and almost boiling. Ignite the hot whisky with a grill starter or lighter and pour over the pumpkin. Cut into slices and serve.
