Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 35 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 396 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 150 grams sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large egg yolks
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the butter mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Press the chocolate dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the coconut topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and egg yolks. Mix until fully combined.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the partially baked crust, ensuring an even distribution.
Spread the coconut topping evenly over the chocolate chips, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the coconut layer is golden brown and slightly set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Slice into 12 squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
