Individual Brownie Alaskas Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 brownies (3×3)
- 1/4 pint coffee ice cream or 1/4 pint peppermint ice cream
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Place the brownies on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Top each brownie with a generous scoop or slice of your chosen ice cream, then place them in the freezer to ensure the ice cream is very hard before covering with meringue.
- Preheat your oven to 450ºF while the brownies chill.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white until it becomes foamy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is stiff and glossy—don’t skimp on the beating here.
- Quickly spread the meringue over the ice cream and sides of the brownies, making sure to seal the meringue to the baking sheet for that perfect finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is light brown, which should take about 3 minutes.
- After baking, if you’re not serving immediately, place the Brownie Alaskas back in the freezer for up to 24 hours.
