Baked Alaska

• 1 pan brownies
• 1 pint strawberry ice cream
• 1 pint other flavor ice cream
• 5 egg whites
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla

Start by baking the brownies and softening the ice cream. Line a dome shaped bowl with plastic wrap and spoon one of the ice cream flavors into the bottom to conform to the bowl's shape. Then do a second layer with the other flavor. Freeze till hard. Use the bowl to cut the same sized circle in the brownies. Place the ice cream dome on top of the brownie circle on a pan and put it back in the freezer. 

Mix the egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixer on high till stiff peaks form. Add in the sugar and vanilla. and mix for 30 seconds. 

Completely coat the ice cream dome in the egg white and use the spatula to curl up little swirls in the egg. Place it back in the freezer for at least one hour and up to 1 day. 

Preheat the oven to 500. Use only a bottom rack. 

Bake the frozen creation for 4 minutes and then then broil for 30 second to one minute or until the egg is browned. 

You can customize this dessert with any dense cake and flavors of ice cream you want. You can also change up the extract used in the meringue.
