Description

Rich and ultra-fudgy chocolate brownies topped with a fluffy marshmallow layer, smooth chocolate ganache, and sweet shredded coconut for a nostalgic SnoBall-inspired dessert.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (about 100 g) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 cups (about 100 g) mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk melted butter and cocoa powder in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Add sugar and mix until fully combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Fold in flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle mini marshmallows over hot brownies and return to oven for 2–3 minutes until puffed.
  9. Heat heavy cream until steaming and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to form ganache.
  10. Spread ganache over marshmallow layer.
  11. Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly on top and press lightly to adhere.
  12. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
