Life is a combination of magic and dessert…

This recipe is heavily inspired by a dessert that my brother and I ate at a Wetherspoons in the Highlands, over Christmas 2018. We tasted it and knew immediately that we had to attempt to recreate it.

Ingredients

Base:

250g of Biscoff Biscuits

2 ½ tablespoons of butter

Biscoff spread, slightly melted

Brownie:

I took the recipe from https://tasty.co/recipe/the-best-fudgy-brownies because I have tried it before and it is truly incredible. 

225g Chocolate

170g Melted butter

250g Caster sugar (250 g)

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

95g Plain flour

30g cocoa powder

1 teaspoon salt

200g Marshmallows

Method

  1. Crush the Biscoff biscuits and add the melted butter, stirring until the biscuit crumbs are coated and have the texture of wet sand. Then, push this into a lined baking tin, any one will do although it helps if you have a springform tin as it makes everything much easier. Let this set in the fridge 1-2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  3. Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes light in colour.
  5. Whisk in the melted chocolate; then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes and then add the marshmallows on top, baking for a further 5 minutes or until the marshmallows are melted and slightly golden.

And Voila! The most indulgent, delicious pudding to ever grace your taste buds. I would say this would serve 10-12 people, but I wouldn’t judge anyone for eating it all themselves; it is really that good.
