How to Make Coconut Layered Brownies

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 3 large eggs.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar to the beaten eggs. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  8. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
  10. Carefully and evenly spread the coconut mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
  11. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the coconut layer using a spoon or spatula.
  12. Spread the remaining brownie batter to cover the coconut layer completely.
  13. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  14. Remove from oven and sprinkle with ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  15. Let the brownies cool slightly before spreading the melted chips evenly.
  16. Sprinkle with ½ cup toasted slivered almonds or chopped pecans.
  17. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
