Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 0.75 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum, followed by the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl, then fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the lime zest and shredded coconut to distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies.

Step 9

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
