Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate.
- Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until both are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them over a double boiler.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar and egg whites.
- Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg white mixture.
- Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once the brownies have cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the top.
- Sprinkle the dried coconut meat evenly over the powdered sugar.
- Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter and chocolate are completely melted and smoothly combined before adding other ingredients to achieve a consistent batter.
- Use room temperature egg whites to help blend all the ingredients more evenly.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture to avoid overmixing, which can lead to denser brownies.
- For an extra touch, coat the brownies with additional powdered sugar or dip them in chocolate and then roll in shredded coconut after baking.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even slices.
