Coconut Macaroon Brownies

Have made these many times now and a really nice key step is to melt the chocolate and butter in a really good non stick pot making g sure to melt the butter a few seconds ahead of the chocolate to coat the pan. Then you can simply mix the rest of the batter Ron the same pot letting it cool in the pot and when you turn it out into the baking pan it slides out easily and just needs to be spread a bit, leaving g you only one pan to clean up. Easy peasy one pan brownies.

I had a lot of trouble getting these to set completely. They were not nearly finished after 25 mins, after 35, even after about 50. I put them back in the oven for 10 more minutes after pulling them out to see if they would finish when setting, and they were still slightly gooey. This oven is a 3 year old Samsung, and I used a ceramic dish, 8” x 8”. They are delicious, but seem to take much longer than the recipe states.

It's taking all my willpower not to cut into these brownies before they have cooled. Like many of you, I had to cook them a lot longer than the recipe suggested, and the coconut got extremely toasty. I'm considering letting the brownies cook for 15-20 minutes next time before adding the coconut dollops.

Delicious. I made half the coconut topping because that was all I had on hand and because my husband (allegedly) doesn’t like coconut. He loved them. I baked in a 9x9 pan for the full 35 minutes and the brownies were incredibly moist, the coconut nice and crispy.

This is a perfect recipe if you need to make gluten-free treats. You can mix everything in the pan in which you melt the butter and chocolate. No possible cross-contamination from your usual baking bowls and mixer. Simply sub a gluten-free flour 1:1 for the white flour. I think the gluten-free version is superior so always make brownies that way.

I’m about to make the coconut mixture and yes mainesummers this is the thickest batter I have ever seen The batter and the brownie’s are much better with chocolate chips

I made a different brownie recipe and made the coconut topping and used it on those. Absolutely fantastic. Best to use an instant thermometer to check for the center being done (205 degrees F). I thought the coconut wouldn't be spread out enough, but the mounds are quite tightly placed together so no need to spread out the mixture or modify placement in my opinion.

Really good, especially if you prefer your brownies fudge-y. Mine are sadly compromised. I only had Morton's on hand and (rushing) forgot that Morton's kosher (unlike Diamond) is basically equivalent to fine sea salt. Not only did I increase the salt to 1 teaspoon, I also threw in a double sprinkling of Maldon, because I thought the condensed milk + sweetened coconut would need it. They really do not! Anyway, I look forward to making this again while following the salt measurements faithfully.

35 minutes at 350 was perfect in my oven for this recipe. Maybe a few more mini-chips might have guided the proverbial lily?

These were on a page with pecan pie brownies and those were perfect...That recipe called for 1 cup of flour and these call for 1/2 cup...although delicious the brownie was too "wet" for me... If I bake these again I would go for the 1 cup flour as in the companion recipe...

Everything about these is heaven!

Sooo good. My glass pan is a little too small to produce 16 squares so I just spread the coconut mixture out all over the top. I made this twice: once I dotted the top with whole almonds, and the second time I was out of sweetened condensed milk, so I first had to make that (on the stovetop, that with almond milk, maple syrup, butter and vanilla).

I used the Katherine Hepburn brownie recipe as the base, because I’m not messing with perfection. I dolloped the coconut mixture on top and baked at 325 for 28 minutes. Absolutely divine!

My coconut mounds got very runny and don't look nearly as nice as the photo included. Any suggestions?

I think I'll spread the macaroon mixture evenly and carefully over the dough so that every so every bite of the brownies will be covered in yumminess!
