  • 1 cup Dutch process cocoa powder

  • 1½ tbsp cornstarch

  • ½ tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 cup marshmallow creme

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.

  • Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl:

  • Whisk together sugar, eggs, and egg yolk until lightened in color.

  • Add melted butter, vanilla, and oil. Mix until smooth.

Step 3: Sift Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
    This ensures a lump-free, soft brownie crumb.

Step 4: Make the Batter

  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

  • Don’t overmix. Stop when everything is just combined.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5: Layer & Swirl

  • Spread half the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

Step 6: Bake

  • Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie (not marshmallow) comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  • The marshmallow will puff up and turn golden.

Step 7: Cool & Cut

  • Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing.

  • Use the parchment paper to lift them out for easier, cleaner cutting.

✅ Tips for Success

  • Do not overmix the batter—it affects texture.

  • Let brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid marshmallow mess.

  • Store tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

Heavenly Whipped Dessert Recipe

The key to this delightful dessert lies in its simple, wholesome ingredients. Fat-free whipped topping forms the base, providing a light and airy texture. Unsweetened cocoa powder adds a rich chocolate flavor without the extra calories, while powdered peanut butter (optional) gives a subtle nutty taste. Stevia or another zero-calorie sweetener rounds out the ingredients, allowing you to customize the sweetness to your liking.

Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Gathering Your Ingredients: Start by ensuring you have all the ingredients ready and measured. This preparation step is crucial for a smooth cooking process.
  2. Chilling the Mixing Bowl: Place your mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before you start. A chilled bowl helps keep the whipped topping at the right consistency.
  3. Measuring the Whipped Topping: Use a measuring cup to scoop out 1 cup of fat-free whipped topping, ensuring you level off the top for accuracy.
  4. Sifting Cocoa Powder: Sift 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth texture.
  5. Folding the Ingredients: Gently fold the cocoa powder into the whipped topping, maintaining a light hand to preserve the airy consistency.
  6. Adding Powdered Peanut Butter: If desired, add 1 tablespoon of powdered peanut butter, folding it into the mixture with the same gentle technique.
  7. Sweetening the Mixture: Gradually add Stevia or your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste. Start with a small amount and increase as needed.
  8. Transferring to Serving Bowls: Transfer the mixture to individual dessert cups or a larger serving bowl for easier serving.
  9. Chilling the Dessert: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors and texture.
