Instructions

1)First step, eggs

  1. Cream the eggs and sugar, in a mixing bowl whisk together 2 eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Use a whisk, an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture vigorously until it becomes pale, thick and frothy. This step is crucial as it incorporates air.

2)Second step, brown butter

  1. In a sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely, then continue to cook stirring occasionally until the butter takes on a rich, golden brown hue and releases a nutty aroma. This process enhances the flavor and adds a deeper complexity to the brownie.

3)Third step, melt chocolate

  1. Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot brown butter over the chocolate. Let it sit for a few moments to allow the heat from the butter to melt the chocolate, then stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Return to the oven until the marshmallows are slightly melted and golden.
