Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large egg whites
- ½ cup (120 ml) light corn syrup
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize graham crackers, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Blend in melted butter until uniformly moist. Press firmly into a foil-lined 8×8-inch pan preheated to 350°F (175°C).
- Crust Baking: Bake the graham cracker base for 10 minutes, then cool completely in the refrigerator.
- Chocolate Layer: Melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth. Pour evenly over the cooled crust and refrigerate.
- Marshmallow Topping Construction: Whip egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Simultaneously, heat sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to 240°F (116°C) without stirring.
- Marshmallow Finishing: Stream hot syrup into egg whites while whisking. Beat at medium-high speed for 6-7 minutes, adding vanilla in the final minute until light and glossy.
- Torching and Presentation: Spread marshmallow topping over chocolate layer. Brown surface using a kitchen torch or broiler until golden. Refrigerate for one hour before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Precise Crust Preparation: Graham cracker base requires thorough grinding and even pressing to create a stable foundation for layered dessert.
- Temperature Control Critical: Monitor candy thermometer closely when making marshmallow topping to achieve perfect 240°F syrup consistency.
- Whipping Technique Matters: Beat egg whites slowly and steadily, allowing soft peaks to form gradually for optimal marshmallow texture.
- Torching Tips: Use kitchen torch or broiler carefully to caramelize marshmallow surface, moving quickly to prevent burning and achieve golden-brown color.
