Coconut Macaroon Brownies
Description
The brownies start with a butter and sugar base whipped until fluffy, then eggs are added one at a time. Cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt are folded in carefully to maintain a tender crumb. Half of this batter is spread in a foil-lined pan for the bottom layer.
A coconut mixture made from unsweetened grated coconut and sweetened condensed milk is spread evenly over the brownie base. The remaining brownie batter is gently spread over the coconut layer to create a sandwich effect.
The assembled pan bakes for about 60 minutes, until the brownies are firm and a skewer emerges with moist crumbs but no raw batter. Cooling completely is essential before cutting to maintain the layered texture.
