This recipe is almost too easy — but your guests will love it.

  • Spread ice cream evenly in the bottom of a shallow 2-quart casserole dish. Cover dish and return to freezer for at least 1 hour.

  • Spread caramel dip over the top of the ice cream. Sprinkle blueberries over the top and lightly press into the caramel. Mound whipped cream over all.

  • Serve with long spoons and sponge cake cups.

Baked Alaska Fondue

If you're feeling adventurous, make a batch of meringue (4 egg whites, cup superfine sugar, ½ teaspoon cream oftartar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, all beaten stiff) and mound that over the blueberry-topped ice cream instead of whipped cream. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes or until nicely browned.
