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 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Prepare the Coconut Layer: While the brownies are baking, mix the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk together in a separate bowl.
- Layer the Coconut: After the first 15 minutes of baking, remove the brownies from the oven and spread the coconut mixture evenly over the baked layer. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread it gently to cover the coconut layer.
- Finish Baking: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Make the Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Pour the ganache over the warm brownies and spread evenly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy your decadent Mounds Brownies!
