Coconut and Chocolate Brownie Towers

Earlier in the week I had the rather starting realisation that somehow 95% of 2015 was gone and it was ALREADY December. I was asked to provide some info about how long it had been since I had worked in a particular role and feeling like it really was just yesterday, managed to balls up such a simple question.

"Hold on... Sorry , its December isn't it? Um... " As someone who has a bad habit of shifting jobs every couple of months, I'm usually pretty good of giving a commentary of my employment. So, on that note, I think it really I about time Sugared Escape got its Christmas on!

Well kind of... these towers do like a little like snow capped mountains and despite living in one of the hottest places to have Christmas, I'm claiming them as Christmas cheer.

by December-13-2015
Ingredients
  • 150g desiccated coconut
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 chocolate brownie slab
  • 1/2 cup buttercream
  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 100ml cream
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix desiccated coconut and sweetened condensed milk together and refrigerate for 20 mins or until firm. Using a deep cookie cutter, cut circles from the brownie slab (careful not too eat too much of the left overs)Sit the cookie cutter over the top of the brownie and fill up with as much coconut mixture as you can, packing in tightly. Repeat this process, refrigerating in between each layer. Once you have a few layers done, cover generously with buttercream and refrigerate. Heat cream in a heavy based saucepan until bubbling. Poor hot cream over chocolate in a small bowl. (I find I always need to pop the bowl back over the heat for a bit) Remove cakes from fridge a poor hot chocolate over the top (I use the back of a spoon to help with the drip)
