Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess parchment hanging over the edges for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely smooth and combined. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the sour cream, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the sweetened shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the brownie batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to maintain a fudgy texture.

Step 10

Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
