Your whipped topping may not be a bright white like commercial whipped topping as you’ve added maple syrup, possibly caramel coloured vanilla, and cinnamon. Using an electric beater on medium-high, whip the coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon together for approximately 1-2 minutes. Leave the cloudy coconut water behind, and transfer the spoonfuls of coconut cream to a medium sized mixing bowl. By turning the can upside down the cream with be at the top of the can when you turn it right-side-up to open it.Īfter the can of coconut milk has been thoroughly chilled (overnight or longer), remove the lid and, using a spoon, remove only the coconut cream. The cream is significantly heavier and as a result will settle at the bottom. The fat of the coconut, or coconut cream, will separate from the coconut water as the can chills. Place a can of full-fat coconut milk in your refrigerator overnight or longer, upside down. Pairs well with: Apple & Summer Berry Crumble ġ-400ml (14 oz.) can of full-fat coconut milkġ-1.5 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar – start with 1 tbsp and add more if you would like a sweeter whipped topping ![]() Store the finished chewy brownies in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container or the baking dish with a lid or other cover.Prep: 5 minutes + overnight chill time for a can of coconut milk I therefore recommend cutting these Coconut Macaroon Brownies when chilled, as it is much easier and allows for clean edges. The macaroon topping is moist and chewy at room temperature and I had a hard time cutting the finished chocolate coconut brownies cleanly. For clean edges, let the brownies cool then chill in fridge, before slicing Gently spread out the coconut filling to cover the entire top.Spoon the coconut mix over top of the brownie batter.Topping is ready when the coconut mixture thickens and egg whites turn opaque.Combine coconut macaroon topping ingredients in a bowl and simmer over a water bath.Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips (optional).Prepare the brownie batter and fill into a parchment lined square baking pan.If your brownie mix or batter doesn’t include chocolate chips, you can spread a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the brownie batter after filling into the prepared pan. But I think it should work just as well on my gluten free coconut flour or almond flour brownie recipes, since they all bake for a similar amount of time. I’ve only tried the macaroon topping on regular flour brownies so far (like these fudgy brownies made with unsweetened dark chocolate). You can use a regular brownie mix or your favorite from scratch recipe for fudgy brownies for a 8 or 9″ pan. The recipe calls for sweetened coconut, however, I freshly grated the coconut (the only packaged grated coconut I could find was chilli-flavored) so it was unsweetened and worked just as well. As such, we only went grocery shopping once a week.įinally though, I found a recipe that used a mixture of egg whites and sugar with salt and vanilla together with the grated coconut. While those are widely available around Asia, I didn’t have any at home and the house was quite a ways out of the city. Many recipes for a macaroon topping that I found online required evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk. Rich and chewy chocolate chip brownies with a sweet and decadently grated coconut macaroon topping. They turned out quite good (aside from the chilli-and-coconut fail), but I had yet another combination idea. I had already tried for myself a combination of brownie mix and coconut with Brownie Macaroons. Green Pandan-flavored cake stood out the most to me.Ĭoconut and Brownies Make An Amazing CombinationĪnother widely available ingredient all over South-East Asia is coconut. Some of the local cake flavors were quite interesting. ![]() I also tried a few Indonesian-style mixes, but they seem to make drier and less sweet types of cake. The only two cake mix options that seemed familiar to me were Vanilla Butter Cake and Chocolate Chip Brownies. So instead of buying all purpose flour, baking powder, and other things needed for from-scratch baking, I resorted to cake mixes from the box. However, since we only spent one month there, I didn’t want to stock up on too many ingredients that we might not use up. While traveling long-term in Southeast Asia, I was so happy to finally have an oven again during our time in Bali. Reminiscent of a Mounds bar (or Bounty bar in Canada + Europe) this recipe is a coconut lovers dream. ![]() These coconut brownies consist of a rich chocolate chip brownie base layered with a sweet and decadent coconut macaroon topping. ![]()
