Who says you need to miss out on the ooey gooey chocolate goodness of a great brownie just because it’s Passover? This brownie is delectable year-round, especially when you top it with sweet, torched meringue and a coconut caramel sauce!

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

  • 1 packet vanilla sugar

  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup Gefen Cocoa

  • walnuts (optional)

Meringue Layer

  • 4 egg whites (at room temperature)

  • 3/4 cup superfine sugar

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla

  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)

Coconut Caramel Drizzle

  • 1 cup coconut or granulated sugar

  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

For the Brownie Layer

1.

Start by beating the eggs with a mixer or whisk. One by one, add the other batter ingredients, mixing after each addition until combined. Don’t overmix.

2.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. Take it out of the oven even if it doesn’t look set – don’t overbake! Allow to cool.

For the Meringue Topping

1.

Whip egg whites on high with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, gradually adding in the sugar as they firm up. Add vanilla at the end and mix to combine.

2.

Fill a piping bag with the meringue and pipe directly onto cooled brownie. For added effect, toast with a blowtorch or under a broiler, watching very carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn.

For the Coconut Caramel Drizzle

1.

Combine coconut milk, coconut sugar, salt, and vanilla in a small sauce pan over a medium heat. Mix until it’s well combined and lower flame, keeping it on a simmer for about 10–15 minutes, until it reduces to a syrup consistency.

2.

Once reduced, remove from heat. For easy decorating, pour into a squeeze bottle.

Raw Egg Hey! I made the brownie and meringe last week and while I was blow torching it I suddenly realized that it could contain salmanella (The Blow Torch only cooked a bit of the top) I was wondering if anyone could answer me this. I don’t want my kids getting it. Thanks!!

Hi- that is a great question. I would recommend doing your own research to see what you feel comfortable with. Everyone has a different level of comfort when it comes to raw eggs. However, the safest thing would be to buy pasteurized eggs that don’t have an issue with salmonella.

coconut oil also, is there a good substitute for coconut oil- does it make a difference?

baking in advance I’d like to make the meringue topped brownie in advance. Can it be frozen (with the brownie and/ or Brownie?) How much in advance? Thank you for your efforts!

Not sure that the meringue will do so well frozen. Maybe make the brownie and add meringue later?

Coconut Caramel Drizzle For the caramel, can I substitute regular sugar for coconut sugar?
