Ingredients

2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

1 quart strawberry ice cream slightly softened

1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

MERINGUE:

5 egg whites

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

In a large saucepan, melt chocolate and shortening; remove from the heat.

Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into chocolate mixture. Add nuts if desired.

Spread into a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Meanwhile, line an 8-in. or 9-in. round bowl (1-1/2-qts.) with foil.

Quickly spread strawberry ice cream over bottom and up sides of bowl, leaving center hollow; cover and freeze for 30 minutes. Pack vanilla ice cream into center; cover and freeze.

To assemble, place the brownie base on a 10-in. ovenproof serving plate. Unmold ice cream onto brownie. Return to freezer while preparing meringue.

In a heavy saucepan or double boiler over simmering water, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar. Heat over low heat while beating egg white mixture with a portable mixer on low speed for 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl. Continue beating until mixture reaches 160°. Remove from the heat. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Quickly spread over ice cream and brownie. Bake at 500° for 2-5 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. (Or return to freezer until ready to bake.) Transfer to a serving plate; serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings.
