Hi, MaryJane: What a nifty idea. Can you tell me more about timing, meaning, how long do you have before the final product starts to melt, and how would one serve this at a dinner? Does the host excuse his/herself after dinner and torch away in preparation for dessert? Getting my KAF e-mail is always a bright spot in my day. Thank you --KP Hi Kristin, If I were serving these for dessert for a nice sit down dinner with friends, I would prepare them the day before, meringue and all, then freeze. When we were ready to have dessert, I'd put the frozen Alaskas on a serving tray and bring it to the table with the torch and let the guests be part of the fun. Each person could torch their own, or you could do them. Using different ice creams would be fun, each person would be surprised at first bite. Hope this helps! ~ MaryJane
