Dessert

Coconut Cream Cheese Brownies

You’ll Need:

3 eggs
1 cup melted butter
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Filling:
2 packages (8 oz. / 227 g each) Cream cheese
2 tsp coconut extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
3/4 cup coconut dessert mix

Procedures: In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, butter, and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Set aside half for topping. Coat a 9 x 13” / 23 x 33 cm pan with Watkins Cooking Spray. Spread the remaining batter into the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, coconut extract, and sugar until smooth. Add egg, milk, and dessert mix, beating just until combined. Carefully spread the filling over the batter. Drop reserved batter by tablespoonfuls atop the filling. Cut through the batter with a knife to swirl if desired. Bake at 350°F / 180°C for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate until serving. Makes 3 dozen.
