Choco-Cloud Brownies image

True to its name, this mild chocolate brownie is covered by a cloud of light fluffy frosting. The recipe has earned raves at over table. My husband, a pastor, and I have three young daughters who like to cook as much as I do.

Overall, I thought these brownies were pretty good. They were easy to make and the flavor was good, but they were a little too sweet for my taste.

Not a fan of coconut, so I was hesitant to try these brownies. But I'm glad I did! The coconut flavor was very subtle and the brownies were very moist and chocolatey.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was skeptical about the coconut, but it really worked in this recipe. The brownies were delicious and the coconut added a nice touch of sweetness.

These brownies were a hit! The chocolate and coconut flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was fudgy and moist. I will definitely be making these again.
