Southern-inspired brownies with nuts, coconut, fruit, and creamy icing elevate a classic favorite.
Ingredients:
  • Additional sliced almonds, if desired
  • 1 jar (10 oz) maraschino cherries with stems, drained and 1/2 cup juice reserved
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract, if desired
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup from 1 tub (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Vanilla Frosting (from 12 oz container)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Lightly grease the bottom of a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. Reserve 12 cherries for garnishing. Remove the stems and roughly chop the rest of the cherries; keep them aside.
  • Combine coconut and 1 tablespoon of coconut milk in a bowl, gently mix with a fork. Add almonds and chopped cherries, then set aside.
  • Combine brownie mix, chocolate syrup pouch, oil, 1/2 cup cherry juice, almond extract, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir until well mixed. Spread half of the batter in pan, then evenly spoon coconut mixture over it. Top with the remaining batter to cover the coconut mixture.
  • Bake the brownies for 45 to 49 minutes until the center springs back when touched lightly with a finger. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack for about 2 hours.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Coconut Icing ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  • Cut the brownies into 12 pieces. Arrange on dessert plates. Drizzle with icing, then top each with a cherry and sliced almonds.
