CHOCOLATE COCONUT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• To make the brownies: place chocolate and butter in a large heat-proof bowl, and microwave in 30 second-intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted. Alternatively, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until melted, then remove from heat. Add the sugar and whisk until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and whisk just until combined. Add flour and salt and fold, using a rubber spatula, just until combined. Do no overmix. Pour batter into prepared pan, and smooth the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are set but center is still soft, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies come out with moist crumbs, and not dry. Let the brownies cool for 10 minuted on a wire rack, before adding the coconut layer.
• Meanwhile, make the coconut layer: mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Spread evenly into the pan, on top of the brownie layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set. It should stay bright in color. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• To make the chocolate ganache: place chocolate and cream in a medium heat-proof bowl, and microwave in 20-30 second-intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted. Alternatively, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until melted. Pour ganache evenly over the brownies. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours until completely set, then cut into squares. The brownies keep well for several days in the fridge in an airtight container.

TOASTED COCONUT BROWNIES

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with parchment, overhanging the edges by about 2 inches. Coat the parchment lightly with butter.
• Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a large heat-proof bowl set over simmering water, then remove from the heat.
• With an electric mixer on low speed, mix the sugars into the chocolate mixture, then beat in the eggs on medium speed, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Beat in the extracts.
• Mix in the flour on low speed until just combined. Fold in the coconut and nuts, if using, by hand. Fold in the salt.
• Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack before frosting.
• For the frosting: Meanwhile, spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake, stirring once or twice, until lightly toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Combine the butter and extracts in a large bowl and beat on medium-high until light, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat on low until combined, then beat on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is easily spreadable.
• Use the parchment overhang to remove the brownies from the baking dish in one piece. Spread the frosting on the brownies and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Cut into bars to serve. The brownies can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated in the baking dish.
