Chocolate Coconut Brownie Bars

This is a remake of the original recipe published 5 years ago in my YouTube channel. It became the most popular dessert recipe in my channel. This time, I used my latest gooey and fudgy brownie recipe as it makes the perfect base. The coconut and chocolate ganache layers remain the same. Overall, the gooey and fudgy brownie makes a lot of difference as it is super moist despite being chilled and a bit crunchy from the chopped chocolate bars. Of course, you can still use my other brownie recipe for the base. These chocolate coconut brownie bars are a must for coconut lovers and they are insanely delicious.

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.

2.  Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3.  For the brownie layer, I am using my latest gooey and fudgy brownie recipe, but you can choose to use my other brownie recipes, too. Cut the butter into cubes and add into a microwave oven safe bowl together with the powdered sweetener. Microwave for 1 minute, give it a stir then microwave for another 30 seconds.

4.  Add the cold eggs into the butter mixture and whisk vigorously for 1 minute. Do not worry that the eggs will be scrambled as the butter mixture is mildly warm only. Also, when you whisk it immediately, there's no problem at all.

5.  Add the vanilla extract, salt, cocoa powder and whisk until well combined.

6.  Add the flour and mix to combine. The batter is smooth and thick.

7.  Finally, add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars and mix to combine.

8.  Transfer the batter into a 9x9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly.

9.  In the video, I baked the brownie for 15 minutes only to get that super gooey texture. You can actually get different texture just by adjusting the baking time as follows: -    

(a) 15 to 19 minutes for a gooey texture (toothpick will appear with lots of smear)    

(b)  20 to 25 minutes for a fudgy texture (toothpick with appear with some smear)    

(c)  26 to 30 minutes for a moist fudgy cake-like texture (toothpick will appear clean)

10. Set aside the baked brownie and let it cool down.

11. For the coconut layer, just mix all ingredients together until well combined.

12. Pour the coconut mixture over the brownie layer and spread evenly. Set aside.

13. For the chocolate ganache layer, add the chopped chocolate and whipping or heavy cream into a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds then mix until the chocolate has melted. Pour over the coconut mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

14. Chill for 2 hours until set. Then cut into 16 or 25 servings.

Whole eggs = 2 large + 1 large egg yolk (Cold)

Dark chocolate chips / chopped chocolate bars = 100 g (1/2 cup) (I used dark chocolate bars sweetened with stevia as I find the unsweetened ones made the brownie too bitter for my taste. However, if this is not a problem for you, feel free to use unsweetened dark chocolate chips or bars)
