Categories     Bars/Brownies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter (melted)
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
4 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
1 large egg
1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8x8-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides and spray the paper or foil with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Add the butter, egg, vanilla, and coconut extract and mix with a handheld electric mixer (or use a stand mixer) until the mixture is combined. Gently press or spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • For the topping, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until light and smooth. Add the egg and mix well, then add the cocoa powder and vanilla and mix until well blended. Add the powdered sugar gradually while beating until the mixture is smooth. Fold in the coconut.
  • Dollop the topping evenly over the base and bake the bars for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are just set and the center is a little wobbly. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares. The bars taste wonderful chilled, by the way.

COCONUT GOOEY CHOCOLATE CRUNCH BARS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Coconut Gooey Chocolate Crunch Bars Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by CandyH

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 tablespoons (1 cup or 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon water
1 (13.5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick) salted butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, whatever you prefer)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish* with parchment paper allowing the side to hang over the dish. 2.In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Using a mixer beat the mixture until it is smooth, scraping down the sides a few times. Add the flour and water, beat until combined. 3.Press the dough into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven. The bars will seem buttery, this is fine. 4.Meanwhile, make the "caramel". Add the butter to a medium sauce pan. Cook butter over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and maple syrup. Cook the sauce over low heat for 8-10 minute, stirring often to prevent the caramel from burning and sticking to the pan*. Cook until it thickens slightly and turns light golden in color. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. 5.Once the cookie base is out of the oven, sprinkle the top of the cookies with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Next, sprinkle on the walnuts and 1 cup shredded coconut. Pour the "caramel" over top of everything in an even layer. If needed, use a spoon to gently spread the caramel into an even layer. Sprinkle the top with the remaining coconut. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is beginning to brown and caramelize. 6.Allow the bars to cool about 20 minutes and then slice and serve warm.
