Ingredients:
Brownies
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder (or regular unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Coconut Topping
- 2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut flakes
- 1 can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8″ x 8″ baking pan with parchment paper or foil, sprayed with cooking spray. Set it aside.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt the butter. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Then, add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, mixing until well-combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 23 minutes; the brownies will be slightly underdone as they will return to the oven later.
- While the brownies are baking, combine coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Once the brownies are done, immediately spread the coconut mixture on top using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the coconut mixture and return the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven again, and use a rubber spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the top of the brownies. Allow the brownies to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours or place the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Once cooled and set, cut the brownies into squares, serve, and savor the deliciousness!
