My family enjoys the combination of chocolate and coconut. So I stirred coconut extract into brownie batter and added flaked coconut to the cream cheese filling. These fudgy bars are the tasty result! Phyllis Perry, Vassar, Kansas Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size) |
1/2 cup canola oil |
2 eggs |
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract |
filling: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon coconut extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup flaked coconut |
Directions:
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 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° 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 confectioner's sugar and mix well. Fold in coconut. Carefully spread over brownies.
4. Drop reserved batter by teaspoonfuls over filling. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean(do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 dozen.
