Brownie Baked Alaska image

Kids of all ages are impressed when I slice into this sweet treat. No one can resist the combination of brownies and two kinds of ice cream with a light meringue topping. This cool and chocolaty dessert looks like I fussed, when really, it's pretty easy to put together.-Spy Hill Public Library, Carol Twardzik, Spy Hill, Saskatchewan

I'm going to try this recipe, but I'm going to make a few changes. I'm not a fan of chocolate, so I'm going to use vanilla ice cream instead.
