Ingredients

Method

In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup o the banana chips with 2 tbsp of the flaked coconut. Set aside.

In saucepan, combine 115 g of the semisweet chocolate, the butter and unsweetened chocolate; cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until melted and smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk in sugar and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in flour and salt; fold in remaining banana chips and remaining flaked coconut.

Scrape into parchment paper–lined 9-inch (2.5 L) square cake pan, smoothing top. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan.

In heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt remaining semisweet chocolate; spread evenly over brownies. Sprinkle with reserved banana n' chip mixture. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 15 minutes. Lift out onto cutting board; cut into squares. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container; refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.)
