Meringue Brownies loaf

I have my own motto: If you don't know what to bake, bake brownie, haha.

Because brownie is always welcomed (esp. by my family).

Today, our brownie comes with one of my favorite sweet: meringue!!! Imagine that with each bite you will get the sweetness of the meringue and the bitterness of the dark chocolate, it's delicious!

Anyway, I don't suggest to keep this loaf longer than 2 days, as the meringue will lose its crispiness (I don't have this problem because mine was gone in 2 days, haha).

Serve this sweet and lovely loaf with a cup of black coffee (or tea) is the best suggestion, as it will balance with the sweetness of the meringue.

The method may be long but it's not hard to make, and if you love both meringue and brownie, I think you will love it too.
