Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Baked Alaska
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then whisk in granulated sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Let cool slightly.
  3. Add eggs to the cooled mixture and mix well, then fold in all-purpose flour until just combined.
  4. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  5. Spread your favorite ice cream over the cooled brownies and freeze for at least one hour.
  6. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then gradually add cream of tartar and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Spread the meringue over the frozen ice cream layer, creating peaks for decoration. Broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the dessert rest for a minute before slicing and serve immediately.
