Begin by making matcha ice cream from scratch.

Mix matcha powder, sugar, heavy cream, and milk in a bowl.

Whisk in egg yolks until combined.

Freeze the mixture in a container, then blend it after a few hours to break up ice crystals.

Repeat the freezing and blending process three times to achieve a creamy texture.

Once the ice cream is ready, shape it into a half-cylinder and freeze it again until firm.

Prepare a basic milk sponge by mixing ingredients to create a thin layer of sponge cake.

Bake the sponge cake until golden and let it cool.

Place the shaped ice cream on top of the cooled sponge cake.

Pipe Italian meringue over the ice cream, creating decorative blobs.

Heat the liquor in a saucepan to make it easier to ignite.

Flambé the Baked Alaska by igniting the warmed liquor and pouring it over the meringue.
