Phish Food Brownies

By Stacey Freeman 6 Comments

I just recently joined Pinterest.  The thing I like most about Pinterest is the rush of creative ideas, interesting recipes and DIY projects I have at my fingertips.  When I saw a ‘Phish Food’ brownie recipe, I immediately thought about my sister’s upcoming birthday.  She isn’t much for sweets, and usually opts for carrot cake on her birthday, but she has always had a thing for Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food frozen yogurt.  I can recall our early twenties when we lived together in Minnesota,  every now and then a pint would spend a few days in our freezer as she’d savor a spoonful at a time.  I thought home-made Phish Food-inspired brownies would be a perfect little something for her birthday.

Now onto the challenges.  Like most Americans, I never embraced the metric system, so I needed Google conversion and a digital scale to convert the measurements.  I had also never heard of “Caster sugar”, but a quick internet search confirmed it’s just a very fine sugar found in the UK, and I could make my own using regular granulated sugar and my food processor.  Since the original recipe gave the option, I opted to use Dulce de Leche rather than making my own caramel, although I am sure the brownies would be good either way.

The rest of the prep and baking was pretty straight-forward, except the recipe only called for 25 minutes of bake time, but my brownies were completely unset at 25 minutes.  They actually required a full 40 minutes in the oven and the middle still remained on the gooey side.

These brownies are intensely rich, gooey and caramelly, which I loved. The only thing I would like to change is figuring out how to keep the marshmallows whole, rather than having them melt into the batter.  The side effect of the melted marshmallows was definitely a richer and moister brownie, but I was hoping to retain the chewiness of the marshmallows to provide a texture contrast.  My friend Erika suggested that next time I should add some marshmallows to the very top of the brownies just a few minutes before the brownies are set, as a way incorporate the whole marshmallows.  I think I’ll try that next time.  However, despite not having the whole marshmallows, these brownies are still too good not to share, with U.S. measurements this time.

Phish Food Brownies

Adapted from: The Little Loaf

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

1 ¼ cup fine sugar *

¾ cup dark chocolate, broken into pieces

7 oz of butter (15 tablespoons)

2/3 cup plain white flour

pinch of salt

¾ cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

1 cup mini marshmallows (plus more for the top at the end of baking, if desired)

4 oz of dulce de leche

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325F.  Grease an 8×8 baking pan.

Beat the eggs and fine sugar* together until pale and creamy.  Melt the chocolate and butter until smooth (I used the microwave, just watch closely as to not over-heat).  Set aside to cool slightly.

Once the chocolate is cooled, fold it into the eggs and sugar mixture with a spatula.  Next, gently mix in the flour and salt, once mixed, add in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin.  Spoon the dulce de leche in little dollops around the pan and then swirl gently into the mixture using a knife. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes**, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly gooey. Leave to cool completely before cutting into squares to serve.

*to make fine sugar, I used regular granulated sugar in my food processor for 30 seconds to 1 minute; you can also buy fine sugar at the grocery store

** oven times will vary, original recipe called for 25 minutes, but mine needed 40

Other tip:

Since the marshmallows tend to melt while baking, if you want marshmallows on the top that are kept whole, try adding them on the top in the last few minutes of baking

It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT high school throwback trend, even if I didn’t quite fit the profile. In HS, I played all the sports, did musicals, band and choir, I was pretty much in as many extracurriculars as I could be. But can we talk about this hair and outfits? I was definitely a late bloomer. My kids said I look scary 🤣. I say better with age 😉.

What were you like in HS?

Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. 💕

People often mistake me for much younger than I am, and I often receive compliments about my skin. If you know me, you know I actually get really shy and embarrassed when I receive compliments. But, I am really proud of my skin because I’ve worked hard to keep it looking youthful. 

I thank my dad and my Italian genes for a lot of it, but I’ve also been religiously caring for my skin since I finally broke up with tanning in my mid-20s. I wear giant (and ugly) sun hats every time I go to the beach and I layer on serums and spf every day.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing my current skincare routine and all of the products I used and treatments I’ve received to keep my skin looking as youthful as I can. And if you wanna see one of my treatments, head over to my stories to see the laser treatment @aestheticrn_christie with @dermfx gave me today. Link in stories or profile!

And by the way, I never wear foundation. In this photo, that is my skin minus some blush and a tiny bit of under eye concealer. Shop all my favorite products here: https://liketk.it/3N8lt

We had the most magical Sunday — the morning at @knottsberryfarm and the afternoon at Hermosa Beach with friends. Today was a day I said to myself, and to my friends, just how blessed we are to live here. There is no better feeling knowing that I finally found home. We missed you, LA.
