Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff

1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

23 drops pink gel food coloring


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.

6. Once cooled, spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the brownie layer. Use a spatula sprayed with nonstick spray to help.

7. In a bowl, mix shredded coconut with pink food coloring until evenly tinted.

8. Sprinkle the colored coconut over the marshmallow layer and press down lightly.

9. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

10. Slice into squares using a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean edges.


Notes

Use parchment paper to easily lift the brownies out of the pan for cutting.

Gel food coloring gives a brighter pink with less liquid—avoid over-saturating the coconut.

Let the brownies chill before slicing for neat, defined layers.
