Coconut Macaroon Topped Brownies
Coconut Macaroons and Brownies in one Dessert.
With the help of a box mix you can put this scrumptious Dessert together in no time.
I had a box mix for Brownies on hand but I wanted to kick em up a notch. I had Coconut and Baking Chocolate in the pantry as well, so I started to come up with a few ways I could incorporate them into the mix. Then I thought instead of putting these ingredients in the mix, why not put them on top.
And there you have it, the Coconut Macaroon topped Brownies. They came out very moist, rich and delicious.
COCONUT MACAROON BROWNIE
Ingredients:
- 1 Box Duncan Hines Family Size Fudge Brownie Mix, prepare as directed on package
- 1 (14 oz.) Package Sweetened Flaked Coconut
- 1 (14 oz.) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Ounces Semi Sweet Baking Chocolate
Directions:
1. Prepare Brownie Mix according to package directions for “cake like” Brownies in a 9 x 13 pan. Place the Brownies in the preheated oven. Set the timer for 18 minutes. The Brownies should not be completely done, because they are going back in the oven after the topping is added. Check them at the 18 minute mark by inserting a toothpick in the center and look for it to be almost clean. That is a good indication that they are almost done, if the center still looks like batter, bake for an additional 2-5 minutes.
2. While the Brownies are baking, make the topping. In a medium size bowl, stir together the Coconut, Vanilla and the Sweetened Condensed Milk. Set aside.
3. After you remove the Brownies from the oven, spread the prepared topping evenly over the Brownies. Return the Brownies to the oven and bake for 15 additional minutes.
4. After 15 minutes, remove the Brownies from oven and allow to cool completely.
5. Melt the Chocolate according to package directions. Then drizzle it over the top of the cooled Coconut Macaroon Brownies. I usually just use a spoon and dip the end in the Chocolate then randomly squiggle the Chocolate all over the top.
6. Cut the Brownies into 2 inch pieces and you are ready to serve.
