Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Brownie Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Topping
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the evaporated milk, brown sugar, softened butter, and egg yolks.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 10-12 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract.
- Let the topping cool slightly until the brownies are done.
Assemble and Serve
- Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Spread the coconut-pecan topping evenly over the warm brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
