For the digestive biscuit base
- 120 g digestive biscuits
- 60 g melted butter
For the brownie layer
- 80 g unsalted butter
- 120 g dark chocolate chopped
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (4 tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Prepare the biscuit base
Use a food processor/blender to crush Digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the biscuits in a zip bag and crush into crumbs.
Add in melted butter and mix well.
Transfer the crumb mixture to a 7-inch square pan lined with parchment paper. Use a cup or spatula to spread out and press down firmly to create a well-compacted base. Set aside.
Prepare the brownie layer
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Melt butter and chopped dark chocolates over a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
In a mixer bowl, add in white sugar and brown sugar, then whisk in 1 egg at a time. As you add in the 2nd egg, add 1 tsp vanilla extract, and whisk until light and creamy with a pale yellow colour.
Pour in the chocolate butter mixture and mix until combined.
Sift in the remaining dry ingredients - plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the batter until just combined. It should have a thick and fudgy texture. Tip: overmixing will make the brownies a cakey texture.
Pour the batter into the square pan over the biscuit base layer.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven at 180ºC for 25-28 minutes. Insert a toothpick or a baking needle into the centre. For a fudgy texture, it should come out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Remove the pan from the oven and place the marshmallows on top, leaving some space on the edges of the pan.
Transfer the pan back to the oven and broil for another 5-8 minutes until caramelised with a golden-brown top.
Let the brownie cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into 9 squares. Enjoy while warm.
