Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 ½ cups 180g graham cracker crumbs about 12 full sheets of graham crackers
  • ¼ cup 50g granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 6 Tablespoons 85g unsalted butter melted to bind crumbs
Brownie Batter
  • ½ cup 113g unsalted butter for richness
  • 2 4- ounce semi-sweet chocolate bars 228g coarsely chopped (for deep chocolate flavor)
  • 1 cup 200g granulated sugar sweetener
  • 3 large eggs room temperature for texture
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for flavor
  • ½ cup 63g all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ¼ cup 21g unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt to balance sweetness
Marshmallow Meringue Frosting
  • 3 large egg whites room temperature
  • ¾ cup 150g granulated sugar for sweetness and stability
  • teaspoon cream of tartar for stabilizing meringue
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for flavor

Equipment

  • 2 12-count muffin pan For baking cupcakes
  • 1 Food processor To grind graham crackers
  • 1 Electric mixer For whipping meringue
  • 1 Kitchen torch For toasting marshmallow meringue

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a muffin pan with 18 cupcake liners.
  2. Make the crust by processing the graham crackers into crumbs. Mix the crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Spoon 1 ½ tablespoons into each liner and press down firmly to form a crust.
  3. For the brownie batter, melt the butter and chocolate in a large bowl, microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each. Whisk in the sugar. Let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. The batter will be thick. Spoon evenly into each cupcake liner on top of the graham crust.
  5. Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pans.
  6. For the meringue frosting, whisk egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and beat with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  8. Pipe the meringue onto the cooled cupcakes, using a piping tip of your choice. If desired, lightly toast the meringue with a kitchen torch.
