Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 1 1/4 C cake flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 6 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
- 12 Tb unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 1/4 C sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 Tb vanilla
Frosting
- 1 C evaporated milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 C sugar
- 1/2 C butter
- 10 ounces shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 C pecans, toasted *Yes, it makes a difference!
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Brownies
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a 9 x 13 glass baking pan. In medium bowl, whisk the four, salt and baking powder.
2. Melt chocolate and butter in microwave in a large bowl using 30 second increments, stirring after each time. Do not let the chocolate burn! Whisk in the sugar gradually. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each egg until thoroughly combined. Whisk in the vanilla.
3. Add the flour mixture in three additions, folding with a rubber spatula until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
4. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30-35 minutes. Make the frosting while the brownies cook. After cooked, cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes then top with frosting. Allow to cool completely before serving, and even better would be to let them sit overnight!
Frosting
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the evaporated milk and egg yolks until completely combined. Add the sugar and continue to whisk. Place over medium-low heat, add the butter and mix continually until it begins to simmer. Continue to cook and stir for another 12 minutes until thick. If you happen to get any piece of cooked egg, just simply remove it. Mix in the coconut, nuts and vanilla and set aside until the brownies are ready.

We had the garlic parm cauliflower the other night. With cauliflower from last year’s garden – blanched and frozen.
My hubby LOVED it! I’m not big on cauliflower, but it was really good.
Thanks! This will be a new regular in my rotation!
There’s no better thing than a frosted brownie. It’s like the ultimate dream!
My last birthday is one of the most memorable birthdays I have celebrated. It is because I received a greeting card as well as a box of chocolate brownies which is my favorite coming from a long lost friend of mine.
This frosted brownie looks tempting and delicious. Unfortunately, I still have to wait for my new oven for me to be able to try and bake this recipe.
I love to bake and invent new things whenever I’m in my kitchen. I think this recipe is worth the try, this is something new for me, good thing I’ve already bought new kitchen stuff and utensils, I will definitely try this delish recipe.
the coconut is natural or from a bag?
Maria- I used coconut from a bag
