Ingredients

• 175 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 150 grams mini marshmallows
• 200 grams dark chocolate chips
• 75 milliliters heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, making sure the edges hang over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form a base. Prick the surface with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 6

Bake the base in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan.

Step 7

While the base is still warm, spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the pan to the oven for about 2–3 minutes, or until the marshmallows puff up and begin to melt. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 8

Prepare the chocolate topping by melting the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled marshmallow layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is set.

Step 11

Once set, remove the dessert from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into slices and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
