Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Coconut Filling:
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
For the Chocolate Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Brownie Base:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool.
Make the Coconut Layer:
In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Spread the ganache evenly over the coconut layer.
Chill and Serve:
Place the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the layers.
Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
