Ingredients
Scale
Brownies:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 ounces (56 grams) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping:
- 1 (7-ounce/198 grams) jar marshmallow fluff or creme
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 to 5 drops pink food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment at 325°F. Arrange aluminum foil in an 8×8-inch pan with extended edges, applying a light cooking spray coating.
- Combine butter and unsweetened chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Continuously stir until fully melted and achieve a uniform consistency. Remove from heat source.
- Incorporate sugar into the molten chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly until well integrated.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture develops a glossy, smooth texture.
- Gently fold flour and salt into the batter, maintaining minimal mixing to prevent toughening.
- Distribute batter evenly across the prepared pan. Bake approximately 40 minutes until a toothpick reveals minimal moist crumbs when inserted centrally.
- While brownies remain warm, smoothly spread marshmallow fluff across the surface, utilizing residual heat to facilitate even distribution.
- Blend shredded coconut, cornstarch, and pink food coloring in a food processor. Pulse several times to create a finely chopped, uniformly tinted coconut mixture.
- Delicately scatter the pink coconut blend over the marshmallow layer, applying gentle pressure to ensure adherence.
- Allow brownies to cool completely. Extract from pan using foil edges. Slice into nine precise squares, cleaning knife between cuts for pristine presentation.
Notes
- Swap chocolate types for different flavor profiles by using dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on personal preference.
- Ensure even baking by rotating the pan halfway through to prevent uneven browning or hot spots in the oven.
- Reduce sugar content by using alternative sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-calorie version.
- Create gluten-free brownies by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend for those with dietary restrictions.
