Equipment

Ingredients

Brownie

Icing

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk (see note below)
  • 2 tablespoons dry red wine
  • dark chocolate bar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

For the Brownie

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch (23 x 23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Melt the butter in a medium bowl using the microwave for 30 second increments until fully melted. Whisk in sugar and red wine. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Whisk in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted in the center and come out with only a few crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely.

For the Icing

  • Melt dark chocolate chips in a medium bowl using the microwave (50% power) for 30 second increments until fully melted. Stir chocolate in between each 30 second increment. Allow chocolate to cool, but not harden.
  • Remove ½ cup (105 grams) of coconut cream from the can of coconut milk. Add to cooled chocolate mixture, along with red wine. Beat together the mixture using a whisk until combined. Place icing in the refrigerator until slightly firmed up (about 20 minutes).
  • Top the cooled brownies with the icing using an offset spatula. Optionally, to garnish, shave the side of the chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler to create chocolate shavings and sprinkle over the brownies. Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator. Allow brownies to come to room temperature before serving.

Notes

To make the coconut cream easier to remove from the can of coconut milk, chill the entire can overnight in the refrigerator. After the can is cold, the coconut cream will be on top, and the coconut water will be on bottom. Be sure not to shake the can when removing from the refrigerator.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Allow brownies to come to room temperature before serving.
