These are rich and decadent brownies made with coconut cream and sprinkled with toasted coconut. The best thing about this recipe is that it is made from our lovely coconuts:
In this recipe, we have used our own coconut cream which we squeeze into these handy portions:
Butter a shallow pan 9 by 9 inches. Line the bottom with wax paper and cut to fit. Butter the paper and set the oven at 325F(160C).
Put in a double boiler:
4oz of cocoa powder
4oz of coconut cream (or 1 bag of our coconut cream)
Stir over hot water until melted and then remove from heat. Stir in:
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla essence (or flavouring)
Spread in a pan. Bake until dry on top and almost firm to touch. This is about 35 minutes. Turn upside down on a cake cooler and allow to cool. Peel off paper and cut into squares. Makes 16 squares. Or if you feel particularly decadent, makes 8 generous portions!
Sprinkle with toasted coconut when ready to serve.
