"Pistachio and strawberry ice cream atop a fudgy brownie base that's been glazed with meringue and baked to create this Baked Alaska. This concept is said to have originated when a British physicist known as Count Rumford experimented with egg whites during the Revolutionary period and discovered that they were poor conductors of heat. Be sure to bake the brownie base and ice cream the night before making the meringue." — Smart Cookie
