Brownie Base
- 18.4 oz boxed brownie mix
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
- Prepare Brownies: Prepare and cook the brownies according to the package directions, combining the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water as instructed. Bake until fully cooked and set aside.
- Toast Coconut: While the oven is still warm, spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coconut is evenly browned. Remove from oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Combine Caramel and Coconut: Add the caramel ice cream topping to the toasted coconut and stir well to combine into a sticky mixture.
- Top Brownies: Spoon the coconut and caramel mixture evenly over the cooled brownies, spreading gently to create a uniform layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips to a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a snipped corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the coconut layer on the brownies in a decorative pattern.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies until the chocolate hardens and the topping is set, about 1 to 2 hours, before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the caramel coconut topping to prevent melting.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet when toasting coconut to avoid burning and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep toppings fresh.
- To make cutting easier, chill the brownies thoroughly before slicing.
- If desired, you can substitute the caramel ice cream topping with homemade caramel sauce for a richer flavor.
