Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan, then line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract until fully combined. This will form the coconut macaroon topping.
Drop spoonfuls of the coconut mixture over the brownie batter, then gently spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
