Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, mixing well. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the coconut filling by combining shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl.
- After the first baking, remove the brownies from the oven and spread the coconut mixture over the top. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the coconut layer and spread it evenly.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool. Melt the dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the top before cutting into squares.
