These decadent brownies have a delicious layer of coconut sandwiched between two chocolate layers. They were requested at a political campaign, at a social party and at my fiftieth anniversary.

FABULOUSLY EASY COCONUT BROWNIES



Fabulously Easy Coconut Brownies image

Super easy, these brownies draw raves as if I were baking all day. I like to make these, regular brownies and cream cheese brownies at the same time and serve a variety plate. (I found this recipe online somewhere in the last few years, not sure of the original source.)

Time 1h5m

Yield 20 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 -24 ounce) package brownie mix (your favorite)
3 eggs (to prepare brownie mix under "cake" instructions)
1/4 cup water (for brownie mix)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (for brownie mix)
3 3/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 (11 1/2 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chunks

1 cup pecans (or any kind of nuts)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9X13X2 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare your favorite brownie mix according to package directions for cakelike brownies. The amount of eggs, oil and water in the ingredients above are common to most prepared brownie mix instructions (for cakelike brownies), but follow your box exactly.
  • Spread the brownie mix evenly in pan. Bake 16-18 min or until brownie is set. Do not overbake! You are just trying to set the batter, not finish it.
  • Layer coconut and chocolate chunks over brownie base.
  • Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over coconut and chocolate chunks.
  • Sprinkle with nuts.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes or until edges of coconut are deep golden brown and nuts are lightly toasted.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup chopped skinned almonds, optional
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with parchment, overhanging the edges by about 2 inches. Coat the parchment lightly with butter.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a large heat-proof bowl set over simmering water, then remove from the heat.
  • With an electric mixer on low speed, mix the sugars into the chocolate mixture, then beat in the eggs on medium speed, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat in the extracts.
  • Mix in the flour on low speed until just combined. Fold in the coconut and nuts, if using, by hand. Fold in the salt.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack before frosting.
  • For the frosting: Meanwhile, spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake, stirring once or twice, until lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine the butter and extracts in a large bowl and beat on medium-high until light, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on low until combined, then beat on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is easily spreadable.
  • Use the parchment overhang to remove the brownies from the baking dish in one piece. Spread the frosting on the brownies and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Cut into bars to serve. The brownies can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated in the baking dish.

Time 2h30m

Yield 16 to 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cooking spray
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup salted macadamia nuts, chopped
2 tablespoons meringue powder
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
3 to 5 tablespoons water
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, for topping
White nonpareils, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two short sides; coat with cooking spray. Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until melted, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs and coconut extract until well combined. Stir in the flour and salt until smooth. Stir in the coconut and nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake until the brownies are dry on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, make the icing: Combine the meringue powder, confectioners' sugar, coconut extract and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff and glossy but still spreadable, 2 to 3 minutes. Thin with up to 2 more tablespoons water, if needed.
  • Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Scrape the icing on top and spread to the edges. Sprinkle with the coconut and white nonpareils; gently press to adhere. Let the icing harden, 1 to 2 hours. Cut into pieces.

100g cocoa
250g butter
500g golden caster sugar
