Coconut Caramel Flan Brownies

Servings: 9-12

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coconut cream (chilled)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (cooled)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (toasted)
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper.

  2. Melt butter in a large bowl, then whisk in sugar until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by cocoa powder and vanilla extract.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt, then add to chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.

  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly gooey.

  6. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

  7. For the coconut caramel flan, combine chilled coconut cream, cooled caramel sauce, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  8. Spoon a dollop of coconut caramel flan onto each square of brownie and top with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes.

  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • For an extra gooey center, bake the brownies for 22-23 minutes instead.
  • If using high-quality caramel sauce, you can omit the salt in the coconut caramel flan mixture.
  • Don't skip toasting the coconut flakes - it adds a nice texture and flavor contrast!
