Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment or lightly grease.

To make the chocolate brownie layer:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat into the butter mixture until just combined with no streaks remaining.
  3. Carefully spread the chocolate batter in the prepared baking pan in an even layer.

To make the coconut layer:

  1. Clean the bowl and beat together the coconut, condensed milk, egg white, and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Scatter evenly across the chocolate layer in the pan. Gently smooth with a spoon or offset spatula.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until set and the edges are golden, 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.

To make the chocolate frosting:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a large bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the milk to create a light and smooth, spreadable frosting.
  2. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled chocolate and coconut layers before cutting into small squares for serving.
