We love this snowy white showstopper. Not only is it a good-looking festive alternative to Christmas cake, but who can resist the tabletop theatre of cutting into an Alaska to reveal the frozen centre? This panettone torrone Alaska is from The New Art of Cooking by Frankie Unsworth (£30, Bloomsbury) and is made with a traditional panettone filled with a frozen nougat centre and encased in delightful swirls of torched meringue. An indulgently delicious finale to any festive gathering.
