I discovered the key to perfect moist brownies last year whilst skiing in France and I couldn’t believe it was so simple. To me nothing is more lovely than a moist indulgent brownie and this recipe is just that. I have spent time tweaking this recipe over the last year, perfecting all aspects of this brownie and I am certain this will be a crowd pleaser. Serve cold with a cup of tea or warm with ice cream, either way is sure to impress.
If you read the recipe below and the one thing that stands out to you is the coconut because you are not a coconut lover, please just go with it. The coconut gives the brownie a really lovely texture but can be left out if I can’t sway your mind.
