Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF) and line a 20x20 cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse the digestive or graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Mix with melted unsalted butter, then press into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Melt semi-sweet dark chocolate chips and butter over low heat, then cool slightly. Whisk together cocoa powder, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Stir in melted chocolate, then fold in flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- Pour brownie batter over cooled cookie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Whisk egg whites and additional granulated sugar over simmering water until warm, then whip to stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla bean paste.
- Spread meringue over brownies and toast the top using a kitchen torch.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.
