Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients
  

For the brownie base
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
For the smores topping
  • 100 g mini marshmallows or large ones chopped
  • 8-10 plain biscuits digestives or rich tea, roughly crushed

Method
 

Step 1

  1. Prepare your BBQ for indirect medium heat, with coals pushed to one side or burners arranged so you have a hot and a cooler zone. Place a lid-safe cast-iron skillet, about 25 cm, on the indirect side to heat up while you make the batter.

Step 2

  1. In a heatproof bowl set over, but not touching, simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

Step 3

  1. Whisk in the sugar, then the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.

Step 4

  1. Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt, then fold gently until just combined.

Step 5

  1. Carefully remove the hot skillet, lightly grease if needed, and pour in the brownie batter. Place back on the BBQ over indirect heat. Close the lid and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centre still has a slight wobble.

Step 6

  1. Scatter marshmallows and crushed biscuits over the top, then cook for a further 5-10 minutes, lid down, until the marshmallows are toasted and gooey.

Step 7

  1. Let the brownie cool for at least 10-15 minutes before scooping into bowls.

Notes

Use a thermometer in your BBQ if possible to keep the temperature steady around 170-180 C for more predictable baking.
Serve with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
