Brownies cu nuca de cocos
Nu aveti idee de cand imi doresc sa fac aceste brownies. De ce? Pentru ca ador combinatia de ciocolata cu nuca de cocos, ma duce cu gandul la tabletele Bounty pe care le iubesc. Sa tot fie o luna de cand dau tarcoale acestei retete, insa m-a impiedicat faptul ca nu aveam nicio tava potrivita. Lucru ciudat pentru un cofetar… ideea e ca ne-am mutat de curand si cumva am lasat in urma tava aceea micuta pe care o foloseam de obicei pentru astfel de retete. Si eram ok cu asta pana cand am inceput sa visez brownies cu nuca de cocos. Asa ca primul lucru pe care l-am facut in tava noua au fost aceste brownies ciocolatoase cu un topping delicios de nuca de cocos! Delicios, aromat, dens, cremos, practic toate caracteristicile unui desert perfect!

ENGLISH
You have no idea for how long I’ve been dreaming about these coconut brownies.. The only reason for not making them until now was not having a small enough pan – weird for a pastry chef, I know, but here me out for a second and you’ll understand. We just moved places (and towns for that matter) and in the heat of the moment and the mess the moving has caused, I left behind my square pan that I was using for brownies. I didn’t feel bad about it as it was a fairly old pan, but then I saw a picture of coconut brownies and it made me think of Bounty bars so I was hooked. I began looking for a new pan, obviously, and to my surprise, took me a while to find a perfectly square, tall pan to hold all the goodies I was going to bake. The only thing I need to fix now is my oven (the gas kind) which kinda burns my baked goodies on the edges and is driving me nuts.
These coconut brownies are loaded with chocolate and butter and sweetened condensed milk and coconut.. Basically everything I love is in there so the brownies taste amazing! They are fudgy, rich and fragrant and make an excellent treat for a special occasion precisely due to their richness. I mean, it’s surely not a dessert to eat daily or when you’re on a diet, but it’s well worth the sacrifice once in a while.

Ce dimensiune are tava in care se coace?
20x20cm daca nu ma insel. E o tava destul de mica.
Si mie imi place foarte mult nuca de cocos! Pot inlocui laptele condensat cu altceva?
Nu cred ca poate fi inlocuit in reteta asta.
Daca am lapte condensat neindulcit cat zahar ar trebui adaugat si cum?
Nu sunt sigura cat zahar ti-ar mai trebui. Poate 150g sau mai mult. As merge pe zahar pudra pentru ca se topeste mai usor.
