# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 23 x 33 cm baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick spray.
02 -
Place butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add broken chocolate bar pieces. Stir gently until melted and mixture is smooth.
03 -
Remove pan from heat. Whisk granulated sugar into the warm chocolate-butter mixture until fully incorporated. Whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is blended before adding the next.
04 -
Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Add sifted flour and mix until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
05 -
Pour batter evenly into prepared baking dish. Bake for 35–38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre yields a few moist crumbs.
06 -
Transfer baking dish to a wire rack. Cool completely before topping.
07 -
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and egg yolks. Place over medium-low heat, stirring gently until butter is melted.
08 -
Continue stirring as mixture simmers gently. Cook until mixture thickens slightly, about 12 minutes, ensuring it does not scorch.
09 -
Remove from heat. Stir in coconut, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated. Continue stirring until mixture is thickened and spreadable, about 5 minutes.
10 -
Spread the coconut-pecan topping evenly over the cooled brownie base. Let cool completely for optimal slicing.
11 -
Slice into bars. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before applying the topping to prevent melting and promote clean slices.
