Of all the recipes on this site, this brownie is one of my husbands, Jason's favorite, of all time. Every time I ask him what I have to make for dessert, he always asks for this. This post has become one of the most popular, so I assume that you like chocolate and coconut combos like us! This recipe is perfect marriage from both flavors.
Not only does this brownie taste amazing, but they are also a showstopper. The contrasting colors, textures and flavors make this amazing dessert to entertain. Tip: If you want the white coconut layer to be as white as possible, make sure the ganache topping is completely installed before cutting it. Some chocolates will go to coconut, it's unavoidable, but the more toppings, the more likely they will cut it neatly.
BROWNIE BASE:
COCONUT FILLING:
CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese, cream or half and half, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the coconut and beat for another minute to thoroughly combine.
Dump mixture on top of the cool brownie and spread it around into the even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the ganache.
FOR THE GANACHE:
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream and chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
Remove from the heat and allow for a couple of minutes. Pour the ganache over the coconut topped brownies, smoothing the top. If you like to sprinkle the top of the brownies with additional shredded coconut, do it now, while the ganache is still soft.
Return the brownies to the fridge for the firm to be up before cutting and serving. These brownies are rich, I cut them small.
