FROSTED COCONUT MILK BROWNIES

These brownies are incredibly rich and fudgy- make sure you have a full carton of milk or ice cream before making them.

ingredients

Brownies: – 1/2 cup 1 stick butter – 2 cups sugar – 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips – 1 cup coconut milk – 2 large eggs – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder – 1 teaspoon salt – 1 teaspoon baking powder – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Frosting: – 1/2 cup butter, softened – 1 tsp vanilla – 1/3 cup coconut milk – 1/3 cup cocoa powder – 2-2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9×13 baking dish

In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sugar mixture to boil. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Pour butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer and beat in coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Pour into prepared pan. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, until a tester comes out mostly clean. Let cool on a wire rack until completely cool.

While the brownies are baking, make the frosting by whipping the butter until lighter in color. Add the vanilla and coconut milk and beat until combined. Slowly add the cocoa powder and mix until combined. Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until frosting has reached desired consistency.

Spread the frosting over brownies once completely cooled.
