Ingredients
For the Macaroon topping:
- 1 Egg white
- 1/4 Cup sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Cups dried flaked coconut
For the brownies:
- 4 ounces dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 1/2 Cup butter
- 1 Cup sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 3/4 cup flour
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line and grease an 8 inch baking tin. Set aside.
- Make the macaroon topping by whisking together the egg white, sugar and salt in a small stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over a simmering saucepan of water and whisk until it becomes creamy and thickens a little bit. This will just take about 2 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Make the brownie layer by melting the butter and chocolate together in a clean stainless steel bowl placed over a simmering saucepan of water. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and the eggs one at a time. Whisk until completely incorporated. Fold in the flour and salt.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out until even. Place mounds of the coconut topping over the brownie layer and smooth it out until the top is completely covered.
- Bake between 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Leave to cool before cutting into squares.
