Description

Indulge in decadent Mounds Brownies, combining fudgy brownies with a coconut layer and rich chocolate ganache.


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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, folding gently until no dry streaks remain.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
