Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray with flour. Line pan with parchment paper, allowing excess to extend over sides of pan; spray parchment with baking spray. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave on HIGH, in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 1½ minutes total. Add sugar and vanilla, stirring to combine. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture, stirring to combine. Spread half of batter in prepared pan. In a medium bowl, stir together coconut, almonds, and condensed milk. Spread coconut mixture over batter in pan. Spread remaining batter over coconut mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Using excess parchment as handles, lift brownies out of pan, and cut into squares. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom. Pulse the toasted almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and pulse until a dough forms. Pat the mixture into and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake until the crust is set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache into the prepared crust. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- For the filling: Bring the coconut milk and whole milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until pale and thickened. Gradually add a quarter of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining milk and return the mixture to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and toasted coconut. Pour into the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until cooled, about 30 minutes.
- For the almond whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the almond extract, if desired, and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon the whipped cream over the tart and garnish as desired.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a fluted 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a food processor add hazelnuts, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt and 1/4 cup of sugar and pulse until finely ground. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, then cook swirling the pan occasionally, until nutty-smelling and deep golden in color, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the bittersweet chocolate chips. Let stand until melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk the butter and chocolate until smooth, scraping up any browned butter solids from the bottom of the pan. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the remaining 1 1/4 cups of sugar and coffee mixture on medium speed, about 5 minutes. With mixer on low, add the chocolate-butter mixture, followed by the cocoa-hazelnut mixture. With a spatula scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool until slightly warm.
- Remove the outer ring from the tart pan. In the center of the tart, place the raspberries in a circle or in the shape of a heart. Garnish with sifted powdered sugar. Serve with ice cream.

Tips:
- To achieve a smooth and even tart crust, pre-bake the crust before filling it. This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality chocolate will have a smooth, rich flavor and will not be too sweet.
- Do not overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense brownie.
- Bake the brownie tart until the center is just set. The tart should still have a slight wobble in the center when you remove it from the oven.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the tart to firm up.
- Serve the tart with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
