These are coconut brownies. If you don’t like coconut, try one of my other brownie recipes. I’m calling this one a semi-fail because the bronies were too thick and the centers were too gooey. The bottom crust was very dry. They tasted pretty good overall though and I think the recipe the way it was supposed to be made would be very good. 1 package fudge brownie mix (13″x9″ size) 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1/2 tsp coconut extract Filling: 1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softnened 2 eggs 1 tsp coconut extract 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar 1 cup flaked coconut 1. In a large bowl beat the brownie mix, oil, eggs and extract on medium speed until blended (batter will be stiff). Set aside 1 cup for topping. 2. Spread the remaining batter into a greased 13″x9″ baking pan. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until edges crack. 3. For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, eggs and extracts until smooth. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar and mix well. Fold in coconut. Carefully spread over brownies. 4. Drop preserved batter by teaspoonfuls over filling. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Store in the refrigerator This one from taste of home “fast fixes from mixes” magazine/cookbook

The best brownies have moist centers, a paper-thin crackly crust, and lots of chewy edges. It’s the only gourmet brownie pan that adds two chewy edges to every serving. The pans patented sidewalls also improve baking performance by circulating heat evenly to the pans middle, where food typically takes longer to bake. Unlike baking pans that have multiple cavities (like a cupcake pan), our single-chamber design allows the batter to be easily spread. Use a flexible spatula, or simply give the pan a few firm shakes. The batter will settle evenly throughout the pan during baking, so every serving will be baked to perfection at exactly the same time. Our pan also has a quality nonstick coating and smooth, round corners so its always easy to clean. Nylon spatula and a brownie recipes insert are included.

Happy New Year! In vlog #27 I discuss “Cleanuary,” vegan brownie recipes, Brendan Brazier’s new book, StopLittering.com, working out, etc. (Sorry about the audio – I guess it’s an issue with Flip uploading directly to YouTube. I’ll try to use a different method next time!)
