Servings 12
Ingredients
**Graham Cracker Crust:**
- – 1.5 packages graham crackers about 2 cups of crumbs or half a box
- – 1 stick salted butter melted (113 g)
- – 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 g
**Brownies:**
- – 1 batch of 9×13 brownies use your favorite recipe or a box mix
**Marshmallow Icing:**
- – 4 egg whites
- – 1 cup sugar 200 g
- – 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- – 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
**Graham Cracker Crust:**
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziploc bag and rolling pin.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and 1/4 cup sugar until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan and press down evenly with your fingers.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then set aside to cool while preparing the brownies.
**Brownies:**
- Preheat the oven according to the brownie recipe instructions.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions.
- Pour the brownie batter over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake according to the recipe instructions.
- Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack.
**Marshmallow Icing:**
- Set up a double boiler or make one using a bowl and a pan with about 1 inch of warm water. The bowl should sit above the water without touching it.
- Add egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar to the bowl. Place the bowl over the warm water.
- On low heat, stir the egg white mixture constantly until gently warmed and the sugar is dissolved. Be careful not to cook the egg whites. Scrape the sides of the bowl and stir constantly.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, whip the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and thick. When the whisk is lifted, it should create a peak. Add the vanilla at this point.
- Top the cooled brownies with the marshmallow icing. Use a blowtorch to toast the marshmallow topping for a true s’mores taste. If you don’t have a blowtorch, place the brownies under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, keeping a close eye on them.
