Chocolate Coconut Brownies

Everybody who follow my blog have noticed I love chocolate desserts. These chocolate coconut brownies are simply impossible to resist, fudgy brownies at the base topped with a coconut filling and chocolate ganache on top. For those who love coconut desserts these are one of the best brownies ever.

The recipe is really easy to prepare but require some time for chilling, so it’s not the kind of dessert you can serve right away, but definitely worth the waiting time. I did not add extra sugar on the coconut filling and the sweetness is very well balanced with the semisweet chocolate used. Hope you will enjoy these brownies as much as we did:)

How to make Chocolate Coconut Brownies

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Take an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) or 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking pan and generously butter the sides and bottom. Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.

In a medium bowl, melt chocolate and butter together using a bain-marie, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth. Remove the bowl from heat, but keep it over the warm water. Add instant coffee, stir in the sugar, and then remove the bowl from the pan. Let it cool a bit.

Add eggs one at a time into the chocolate mixture, whisking until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, then add the flour, salt, and cocoa powder, stirring thoroughly.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.

In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and coconut flakes. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the cooled brownies.

Next, prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat cream in a small saucepan, and when it starts to boil at the edges, remove from heat and pour it over chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Spread the ganache evenly over the brownies and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Finally, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy this delicious treat! If you try it out, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.
