Coconut Brownies - Celebrating Sweets (2024)

Coconut Brownies – Fudgy brownies topped with a layer of creamy sweet coconut and finishedwith a smooth chocolate ganache. Use your favorite boxed or homemade brownie recipe for this decadent triple layer dessert. VIDEO BELOW!

I first shared these Coconut Brownies a couple years ago, and I made them again recently and decided to update this post with a few new photos. If you’ve tried these and liked them, worry not, the recipe is the same as before.

These Coconut Brownies are just as decadent and delicious as ever. We have three heavenly layers to satisfy every chocolate and/or coconut craving you could possibly have. Warning: Cut these brownies small, they are rich!

Of all the recipes on this site, these brownies are one my husband, Jason’s, all-time favorites. Anytime I ask him what I should make for dessert, he always requests these. This post has been one of my most popular, so I’m assuming that you love the combo of chocolate and coconut just like we do!This recipe is the perfect marriage of both flavors.

Not only do these brownies taste fantastic, but they are a showstopper as well. The contrasting colors, textures and flavors make these a fabulous dessert for entertaining. Tip: If you want the white coconut layer to stay as white as possible, make sure the ganache topping is completely set before cutting them. Some chocolate will streak into the coconut, it’s inevitable, but the more set the topping is, the more likely they’ll cut neatly.

Coconut Brownies

Three layers of decadence:

1. Fudgy Brownies! Use a homemade recipe or a boxed mix.
2. Creamy Coconut Filling: Cream cheese, shredded coconut, cream, sugar and vanilla. How can you go wrong with that combination of ingredients?!
3. Chocolate Ganache: The Smooth, shiny and beautiful finishing touch to these brownies.

I like to think of these as a combination of a brownie, coconut macaroon, and Mounds candy bar. If you like coconut and chocolate, you will absolutely love sinking your teeth into these thick, gooey brownies. Prefer your chocolate and coconut with nuts? You can absolutely add nuts into the coconut filling, or finely chopped onto the top of the ganache (while it is still wet).

You’ll need one 8×8 or 9×9 pan of bakedand cooled brownies for this recipe. I have made this recipe multiple times with a boxed brownie mix, and it comes out wonderfully. If you’d prefer homemade, use your favorite homemade recipe, or try mygo-to brownie recipe. It is made in one bowl and they always comes out perfectly chewy and fudgy.
