Browsing on Pinterest the other day, I was looking for a brownie recipe that was new and exciting and different.
I found approximately 297 I wanted to try right then, but instead decided to combine a couple of recipes I found and see how it went.
It went well. Really well. Quite tasty, even.
So here is what I came up with!
Coconut Cream Brownies
1 box brownie mix
1 cup sweetened flake coconut
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can chocolate frosting
sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix brownies according to package directions. Spread half of mix in a greased 8 1/2 x 14 baking pan. Mix coconut, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Spoon over brownie batter. Top with remaining batter and bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes or until brownie batter is set. Do not over cook. You can take this out just before it seems quiet done and it should be perfect.
Let cool.
Microwave about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of the frosting for 10 seconds and pour over cooled brownies. Top with sliced almonds and serve.
