Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Coconut Pecan Frosting:

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 large egg yolks

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup shredded coconut

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  1. Make the Brownie Batter:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.

  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.

  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

  1. Bake the Brownies:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  1. Prepare the Coconut Pecan Frosting:

  • While the brownies bake, combine evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a low boil.

  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Allow the frosting to cool slightly.

  1. Assemble the Brownies:

  • Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan.

  • Spread the Coconut Pecan Frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
