Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients on the box
  • 1 (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) bag sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (16 ounce) container of chocolate frosting

Instructions

  • Prepare the brownies according to the box directions. Let them completely cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Stir to fully combine.
  • Once the brownies have cooled, spread the coconut mixture over the brownies.
  • Remove the lid and foil from the container of chocolate frosting. Microwave for about 15 seconds.
  • Spread the frosting over the coconut layer. Let the brownies rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. You can even put them in the refrigerator before cutting to help get a nice, clean cut.

Notes

  • Use fudgy brownies. I recommend using a fudgy brownie mix, not a cakey brownie mix.
  • Let the brownies cool. Let the brownies cool completely before adding the coconut layer.
  • Chill before serving. This is not a necessary step, but I recommend refrigerating the brownies for about 30 minutes before slicing. This helps with nice, clean slices.
