Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Coconut Cream Filling

  • 3/4 cup coconut cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
  2. Make brownie batter base: In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in granulated and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir in the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips thoroughly.
  3. Combine dry ingredients and mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold this dry mixture gently into the wet batter until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain brownie tenderness.
  4. Spread base layer: Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth and even base.
  5. Prepare coconut cream layer: In another bowl, whip the coconut cream together with powdered sugar and cornstarch until thick and fluffy, creating a rich and stable cream layer. Spread this mixture gently over the brownie base to avoid mixing layers.
  6. Top with remaining batter: Carefully spread the remaining half of the brownie batter over the coconut cream layer, ensuring the cream stays mostly covered to maintain layered effect.
  7. Bake the brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, indicating fudgy texture without being undercooked.
  8. Cool and chill: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set up properly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing to enhance firmness and flavor melding.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut cream is well chilled before whipping for best texture.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper overhang for easy removal of brownies.
  • Do not overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
  • Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water to cut clean slices after chilling.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
