Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to the package directions)
Topping
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 16 ounce bottle caramel ice cream topping
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Bake the brownies following the instructions on the brownie mix package using your oven. While the brownies bake, keep the oven on for toasting the coconut.
- Toast Coconut: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and toast for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the coconut is evenly browned and fragrant.
- Cool Toasted Coconut: Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and let it cool slightly to avoid melting the caramel in the next step.
- Combine Coconut and Caramel: Pour the caramel ice cream topping into the bowl with the toasted coconut and stir well until fully combined.
- Layer Topping on Brownies: Spread the caramel-coconut mixture evenly over the cooled brownies, creating a generous layer.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel coconut layer to replicate the signature Samoa look and add extra chocolate flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the brownies until the chocolate drizzles are set and the dessert is fully cooled, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor combination.
Notes
- Be careful not to burn the coconut while toasting; stir frequently and keep a close eye on it.
- Use a prepared brownie mix or homemade brownie batter depending on preference, but ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding toppings.
- The caramel ice cream topping is thinner than regular caramel sauce, making it perfect for spreading over the coconut without making brownies too soggy.
- You can adjust the amount of chocolate drizzle based on personal preference for richness.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
