These rich, fudgy brownies are packed with raspberries and have a caramelized coconut center. The tart raspberries, sweet caramel coconut, and rich chocolate brownie make a perfect combination. My recipe is egg-free and can be made without dairy for an easy vegan dessert!
We start the brownies by melting butter, sugar, and chocolate, then mix with dry ingredients to create a deep, glossy color and gooey texture. Juicy raspberries are folded in, and sweet caramelized coconut is layered in the center. They bake up with a crinkle top and are served with ice cream for an indulgent treat.
