Chef notes
Cool completely: Let the brownie base cool before adding the coconut layer so the layers stay distinct. Don’t overbake: The center should remain slightly fudgy for the best texture. Press gently: Spread and lightly press the coconut filling into an even, compact layer. Chill before slicing: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the brownies cut into clean squares. Clean cuts: Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each slice for neat, beautiful layers.
