Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (226 g)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (400 g)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (85 g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut (340 g)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 oz (396 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (255 g)
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (180 ml)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14 g), optional for extra shine
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until glossy. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating fully before the next.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, folding gently until no dry streaks remain.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely.
- Prepare the coconut layer by mixing together shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, and press it over the cooled brownies.
- Heat the heavy cream until steaming and pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Mix in butter for shine if desired.
- Pour the ganache over the coconut layer and spread evenly. Chill for 1-2 hours until set. Slice and serve.
Notes
For a delightful twist, serve brownies with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
