Brownie Baked Alaska
I make brownie baked Alaska when I want a dessert that feels dramatic but still tastes familiar. Under the toasted meringue is a dome of ice cream sitting on a fudgy brownie base, so every slice has cold, chewy, and marshmallowy textures at once. This recipe is not difficult because of fancy technique; it is difficult because timing matters. The ice cream must be frozen solid, the brownie must be completely cool, and the meringue must seal every exposed spot before heat touches it.
