An easy, no-bake strawberry
Alaska.
Strawberry
Alaska No-Bake
- 6 cups whole fresh California
strawberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur
1 (11.5-ounce) frozen pound cake, defrosted
1 (7-ounce) can refrigerated whipped light cream
- Early in the day or the
day before, prepare strawberry ice: in blender, whirl berries
smooth. Add sugar and liqueur; whirl again to dissolve. Pour
into a loaf pan (9 x 5 x 2 3/4-inches) and freeze until almost
firm.
- Unmold strawberry ice
onto serving plate by loosening along edges with knife; touch
bottom of pan in hot water for 10 seconds. (If melting occurs,
place dessert in freezer for 10 minutes.)
- Cut cake into 6 slices.
Arrange cake slices evenly over strawberry ice. Return to freezer
for at least one hour.
- Frost entire cake with
whipped light cream.
- Return to freezer for
an hour, or cut and serve at once.
Makes 8 servings.
Cooking Notes:
- For ease in cutting remove
from freezer 20 minutes before serving.
- Substitute: 2 (10-ounce
each) packages frozen sliced California strawberries with sugar
and omit 3/4 cup sugar. Thaw just enough to chop. Whirl in blender,
and proceed as directed above.
