Ingredients

For the brownie cupcakes:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the marshmallow  buttercream frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar sifted
  • 7 ounces Marshmallow fluff
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded coconut lightly toasted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with liners; set aside.
  • Add the butter and chocolate to a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir until the butter and chocolate are melted. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Once the mixture is slightly cooled, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk in the flour, salt and baking powder until just combined.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a cooking rack to finish cooling.
  • To make the buttercream frosting, add the butter to the clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the marshmallow fluff, heavy cream and salt; beat for an additional minute.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Enjoy!
