Description

A spectacular four-layer dessert — a fudgy brownie base topped with pecans, marshmallows, and chocolate chips, then finished with a cooked chocolate custard and a silky ganache on top. Assembled in a springform pan and refrigerated until set. Dense, rich, and absolutely worthy of the name.

Ingredients
    First Layer — Brownie Base
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cups Shortening, melted
  • 1/3 Cup Cocoa
  • 3/4 Cups Water
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Chocolate chips
    • Second Layer
  • 1 Cup Miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 Cups Pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 Cups Miniature chocolate chips
    • Third Layer — Chocolate Custard
  • 4 Cups Whipping cream
  • 6 Tbsp. Cornstarch
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
    • Fourth Layer — Ganache
  • 1 Cup Whipping cream
  • 8 oz. Semisweet chocolate squares, broken
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper and sides.
  2. 2
    Stir together all first layer ingredients until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into pan. Bake 20–25 minutes on the middle rack.
  3. 3
    Remove from oven and immediately spread marshmallows, pecans, and mini chocolate chips (second layer) over the hot cake. Place on a wire rack to cool.
  4. 4
    For the custard: mix 6 Tbsp cornstarch with 6 Tbsp cream into a paste. Heat remaining cream to a simmer. Stir in cornstarch paste, sugar, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, about 8 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. 5
    Pour hot custard over the cooled second layer. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  6. 6
    For the ganache: heat cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate pieces. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  7. 7
    Pour ganache over the chilled custard layer. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 1 more hour.
  8. 8
    Run a knife around the edge and remove springform ring before slicing.
