Cindy that sounds so delish! We haven’t tested the recipe that way but it should work just fine. Let us know how it turns out!

Can this be made with the brownie on bottom and coconut on top. I want the coconut to turn a little brown then drizzle chocolate over them

Hi Tobe! I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the filling. A few questions–how did you measure the sweetened condensed milk? Scale, liquid measuring cup, or regular measuring cup? And was it definitely sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk that you used? I ask because the standard weight of 1 cup of condensed milk is 11 oz/cup, so 2/3 cup is approx 7.33 oz, and 1 14-oz can is about 1 1/3 cups. I’ll add some links below to the King Arthur flour ingredient weight chart and the What’s Cooking America can size chart so you can see what I mean. I wonder if there was a measuring or ingredient mishap that lead to almost the full can being used?

As far as boxed brownie mix, I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure. One thing you could try would be to dollop the coconut filling on top of the mix and swirl it in, that might help the coconut not sink to the bottom of the brownies.

I had a problem with the filling. I used 2 cups of the coconut but 2/3 cup of the milk is almost a full 14 oz can, well more than the 7.33 oz in the recipe. Could you pls clarify? There was no way to keep the filling from sinking. Also wondering if you can use this filling with boxed brownie mix? Thank you, I’ll be happy to amend my review once I understand the measurements. The taste was excellent!

Hi Marie, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, this brownies looks amazing and I am so ready to try this

Hey Jillian, Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I would love to hear how it goes if you end up trying any out!
