Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Cook the brownies following the package directions, then keep the oven on for the next step.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the still-warm oven and toast until evenly browned, stirring often, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Cool Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, so it is warm but not hot.
- Combine Coconut and Caramel: In a bowl, mix the cooled toasted coconut with the caramel ice cream topping until thoroughly combined.
- Layer Topping on Brownies: Spoon the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies to create a smooth topping.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small snipped corner, then drizzle the chocolate artistically over the top of the brownies.
- Refrigerate: Place the brownies in the refrigerator to chill until the topping sets, about 30 to 60 minutes.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the brownies into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Toast the coconut carefully as it can burn quickly; stir often for even browning.
- Use high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
- You can melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, to prevent burning.
- Refrigerate brownies to help set the caramel and chocolate layers before cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
