Ingredients

  • 200 g Dark chocolate (70 % cocoa, broken into pieces)
  • 150 g Unsalted butter (Unsalted, at room temperature)
  • 100 g Shredded coconut (Unsweetened)
  • 50 g All-purpose flour (Sift before use)
  • 130 g Granulated white sugar
  • 4 Eggs (Size L)
  • 1 c. à soupe Vanilla flavor (Pure vanilla extract)
  • 1 pinch Salt (Sea fine)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter and chocolate

    Place the diced butter and dark chocolate in a microwave‑safe bowl. Heat on full power for 1 minute 30 seconds, then stir with a small whisk until you obtain a smooth mixture.

    Time: PT1M30S

  2. Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt

    Break the four eggs into a large bowl, add the sugar, vanilla flavor and the pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes pale and slightly frothy.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Incorporate the melted chocolate

    Pour the melted butter‑chocolate mixture into the bowl containing the eggs, then gently fold with a spatula to obtain a homogeneous batter.

    Time: PT1M

  4. Add the flour

    Sift the flour over the mixture and incorporate it gently from the centre, using the whisk, until just combined.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Fold in the coconut

    Set aside 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut for decoration, then pour the rest directly into the batter and mix gently.

    Time: PT1M

  6. Prepare the pan

    Line the square pan with two sheets of parchment paper, letting the edges overhang like a cross to facilitate unmolding.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Pour the batter into the pan

    Dump the batter in the centre of the pan, tap the pan lightly on the work surface and spread with a spatula so the batter reaches the corners and the paper.

    Time: PT1M

  8. Bake

    Place the pan in a pre‑heated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes. The top should be lightly golden and the centre still a bit soft.

    Time: PT20M

    Temperature: 180°C

  9. Cooling

    Let the brownie cool in the pan for 15 minutes before unmolding.

    Time: PT15M

  10. Unmold and cut

    Grab the edges of the parchment paper and lift it off gently. Place the brownie on a board and cut into squares with a serrated knife.

    Time: PT5M

  11. Final decoration

    Sprinkle the reserved coconut over the squares for a nice finish and extra flavor.

    Time: PT1M
