Step 3: Top the Brownies
Spread Coconut Mixture: As soon as you take the brownies out of the oven, spread the coconut mixture evenly over the hot brownies. This will help the coconut topping adhere to the brownies.
Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Frosting
Microwave Frosting: Remove the lid and foil from the container of chocolate frosting. Microwave the frosting for about 15-20 seconds, or just long enough to make it pourable. Stir well to ensure it is smooth.
Step 5: Frost the Brownies
Pour Frosting: Pour the melted frosting over the coconut-topped brownies. Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly, ensuring that it seals the edges and covers the coconut mixture completely.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely so that the frosting can set. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Serve: Once cooled and set, cut the brownies into squares and serve.
