The Ultimate German Chocolate Brownies Recipe
These German chocolate brownies feature a rich, fudgy base that melts in your mouth, complimented by a creamy topping made from coconut and pecans. The taste is an indulgent balance of chocolate sweetness and nutty richness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Mix in flour and salt until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Cook while stirring for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Top the Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled, spread the coconut-pecan frosting evenly over the top. Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your decadent German chocolate brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
