Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). For the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Allow it to cool.
- For the brownie layer, melt butter and chopped chocolate over simmering water. Stir in sugar, then add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Fold in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Pour over the cooled graham cracker crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
- For the meringue, whisk egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt over simmering water until sugar dissolves. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Spread meringue over the cooled brownies, swirling for texture. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set the meringue.
- Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or by broiling for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Slice into bars and serve.
Notes
Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the caramel for a spiced twist.
For added crunch, sprinkle nuts on top of the meringue before toasting.
Top with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
Other fruits like apples or peaches can also work as the filling instead of bananas.
