Preheat your oven to the temperature that is stated on your brownie mix. The one that I used told me to set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x9 pan with some non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment and then spray the paper with another layer of cooking spray. Set the pan aside for just a second.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the brownie mix with the ingredients needed to make the brownies. Mine called for 1 egg, ¼ cup of water and ⅓ cup vegetable oil.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread the batter out evenly in the pan.
Bake for the time indicated on your brownie mix. My called for a bake time of 25-30 minutes.
While the brownies are baking, in a small bowl stir together the toasted coconut, corn starch and pink food colouring. Set aside until the brownies are done baking.
Once the brownies have finished baking, remove from the oven and immediately top with the marshmallow fluff. The heat from the brownies will melt the fluff a little and that will allow you to smooth it out in an even layer.
Immediately top with the pink coconut and lightly press it into the top of the marshmallow creme. Pop the pan in the fridge to chill completely for at least 1 hour but up to overnight if needed.
Lift the brownies out of the pan and slice and serve. Enjoy!
- Use parchment paper for easy removal: Lining your pan prevents sticking and allows you to lift the brownies out cleanly for slicing
- Spread marshmallow while brownies are hot: The heat helps the marshmallow soften and spread smoothly into an even layer
- Don’t overbake the brownies: Slightly underbaking keeps them soft, fudgy, and prevents a dry texture
- Mix the coconut coating evenly: Make sure the color and cornstarch are fully blended so the topping looks smooth and consistent
- Chill completely before slicing: Refrigerating allows the layers to set properly and gives you clean, sharp cuts
- Use a lightly greased knife for slicing: Prevents the marshmallow layer from sticking and tearing
- Press coconut gently into the topping: Helps it stick without flattening the fluffy marshmallow layer
