Rich, fudgy brownies topped with a luscious coconut-pecan frosting—these decadent bars take German chocolate flavor to the next level.

Ingredients:

For the brownies:

1 cup butter, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the topping:

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup shredded coconut

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup butter

4 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in eggs and vanilla until smooth.

3. Add flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

5. While brownies bake, make the topping: In a saucepan, stir together condensed milk, brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and egg yolks.

6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes).

7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Let cool slightly.

8. Spread the topping over cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve.
