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.

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 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
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.
  • Cool completely. Cut into bars. Step back and hear the applause.

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 1h

Yield Cuts into 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

100g cocoa
250g butter
500g golden caster sugar
4 eggs , beaten
100g self-raising flour
100g desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the base of a 21cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the cocoa, butter and sugar in your largest saucepan and gently melt, stirring so the mixture doesn't catch. When the cocoa mixture is melted and combined, cool slightly, then stir in the eggs, little by little, followed by the flour and coconut.
  • Tip into the tin and bake for 45 mins on a middle shelf - check after 30 mins and cover with another piece of baking parchment if the crust is browning too much. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift out and cut into squares.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 57m

Yield 24 brownies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

nonstick cooking spray, Crisco Original
1 (19 1/2 ounce) package pillsbury classic traditional fudge brownie mix
1/2 cup crisco vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pillsbury coconut pecan frosting
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • HEAT oven to 350°F Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil and egg. Beat 50 strokes by hand. Add frosting and sour cream; mix well.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle pecans and chocolate chips evenly over top.
  • BAKE 42 to 52 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely.
  • Cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the brownies dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a rich and creamy frosting. A coconut frosting is a classic choice for brownies, but you can also try a chocolate ganache or a peanut butter frosting.

Conclusion:

These brownies with coconut frosting are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy coconut frosting, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
