Time 1h

Yield 24 brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup skim milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz total)
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (not a duplicate, this is another portion)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, cream the butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar and the sugar until light and fluffy; then beat in vanilla.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternatively with the milk, beating well after each addition.
  • Press into a 13"x9" baking pan already coated with non-stick spray.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips, coconut and walnuts on top.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually beat (1 tbsp at a time) the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread this mixture over the top of the mix in the pan.
  • Bake in a 350F oven for 30-35 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack and then cut into 24 bars.
  • STORE in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • For the perfect gooey texture, make sure to underbake the brownies slightly. Insert a toothpick into the center of the pan; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • To achieve a crisp meringue topping, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means the peaks of the egg whites should stand straight up when the beaters are lifted out of the bowl.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To add a bit of crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the brownies before baking.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a layer of raspberry jam or Nutella in the center of the brownies before topping with the meringue.
