Valrhona chocolate brownies with cinnamon digestive crust, torched marshmallows

For the crust:
10 digestive cookies
2 tsp cinnamon
75g unsalted butter, melted
1 tbs sugar
Brownie batter:
100g unsalted butter
115g good quality dark chocolate (of at least 68% cocoa mass, Valrhona Araguani 72%)
2 eggs
1/8 tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
75g flour
Marshmallow topping:
200g marshmallows

1.Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease a 8 by 8 inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, pulverize the digestive cookies to crumbs. This should yield about 1 ½ cups of cookie crumbs. (Alternatively, place cookies in a ziplock and bash with a rolling pin to achieve the same result.)
3.Add the cinnamon, sugar and unsalted butter to the crumbs. Pulse several times in the food processor (or mix in a bowl with your hands) until you obtain a wet sandy mixture that starts to clump together.
4. Press the crust mixture evenly with your hands into the baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 min until crust starts to brown.
5.Remove from the oven and adjust the oven temperature to 200C
6.In a microwave (in 30 seconds bursts at high power) or in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together.
7.Stir in the eggs one a time until incorporated. Mix in the salt and vanilla extract.
8.Add the sifted flour to the batter and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until batter is smooth and shiny with no more visible streaks of flour, about 10 strokes. Transfer batter to the baking pan and smooth the surface.
9.Bake in preheated oven at 200C for 20 min, or until surface looks dry and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
10.Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool to room temperature
11.Change the oven setting to broil at the highest heat.
12.Scatter the marshmallows evenly on top of the brownies in one layer. Broil until the marshmallows are start to melt and form a golden crust, 1-2 minutes. Watch them carefully so as to ensure they don't start to burn!
13.Slice the brownies with a knife dipped in water and serve.
