I have been brainstorming an amazing coconut treat for awhile. See I was given a sample of Kelapo Virgin Coconut Oil awhile ago, but it’s taken me a few weeks to decide exactly how I’d like to use it. After I opened the jar and took a whiff I felt like I was holding some exotic delicacy and I didn’t want to waste a drop. I wanted to use it in a recipe that already contained coconut so I could enhance the flavors and make it even coconut-ier. (It’s a word I swear.) I thought brownies would be a good thing because using oil instead of butter wouldn’t make too much of a difference. I found a great recipe and made a couple minor changes- viola- my new favorite.
These were hands down the best brownie I’ve made. I brought them into my acting class and many people said it was the best brownie they’ve tasted. If you love coconut- you just may agree! The bar consists of a thin layer of brownie, a layer of coconut cream cheese filling, and another layer of brownie. (I am aware that in this picture the bottom brownie layer is lost, more on that later.)
I made these brownies not too long ago, I found them a tad too dry to be honest, and I added some sour cream to the cheesecake mix to lighten it and add some flavour. The layering is a pain in the arse, but the result is quite good!
REALLY GREAT recipe, I followed it exact and it was delicious. Only problem I found is that they were eaten too fast;o) The should be called Houdini Brownies!
These look amazing. I love coconut and chocolate and my family adores brownies so this is a definite try!!
Holy moly–yes please! Coconut and chocolate are two of my favorite things! I love your blog, by the way!
You have a really nice blog! And i loove those brownies! Chocolate and coconut get on well together =)

I don’t like coconut in desserts, but even I want one of those! Especially with all those rave reviews… Thanks for sharing!
I have a jar of freshly made coconut oil in my pantry that is begging to be a part of these brownies!
I really need to get my hands on some coconut oil and make these
I love coconut. These sound amazing! I want to take a big bite out of that picture. I just started using coconut oil and I am a big fan.

I felt the same way once I opened up my Kelapo coconut oil. This recipe is wonderful and as I am huge coconut fan I imagine that those brownies heavenly!! Nicely done!!!
Cream cheese brownies sound so good and I can imagine that the coconut kicks it up even more, sounds so wonderful!
I love coconut oil and it’s wonderful as a way to intensify the coconut flavour of baked goods. This recipe looks so good, I’ve buzzed and saved it!
Cool! What a unique way to use coconut oil. Thanks for posting this :-)
Wow these look and sound amazing, coconut is my favourite flavour ever – I’m sooo making these!
Two layers are always better than one! Great choice of the other layer-coconut cream cheese, no doubt they taste fantastic. Simply delicious. Thanks for sharing.
