Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan.

Step 6

To prepare the coconut layer, mix the sweetened condensed milk and shredded sweetened coconut in a medium bowl until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.

Step 7

For the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the bittersweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the ganache over the coconut layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 9

Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
