Three layers of deliciousness! Fudgy brownie bottom, creamy coconut center and airy whipped top!

Three layers of deliciousness–brownie base, creamy coconut center and light airy topping! Serve it chilled or for a real treat, frozen!

I like a good dessert. But I really love a dessert that not only is scrumptious, but easy too!

These bars take advantage of three convenience ingredients–brownie mix, instant pudding mix and whipped topping.

I made the brownie mix up for fudgy brownies. It make a nice solid base for this. Cake-like brownies might work too, but I feel that a more compact texture works better here. I used a mix that makes a 13 x 9-inch batch. However if you want to make your own from-scratch brownies, go right ahead, but make sure the recipe is enough to fill a 13 x 9 pan.

The center is coconut-flavored pudding made up like a pie filling. I use well-chilled undiluted evaporated milk for part of the required amount of milk. This makes a very creamy and velvety texture. If you can’t get the coconut cream variety of the pudding, then vanilla pudding with 1/4 cup coconut added would be a good substitute. If you hate coconut, then just make the straight vanilla pudding with no additions. I love the stuff, but I know a number of folks who really don’t do coconut.

As far as the topping goes, I used plain old whipped topping. This is a product I’ve grown to like–especially since the ultra-pasteurized creams don’t hold up when whipped and commercial stabilizers won’t work in ultra-pasteurized creams. Believe me, I LOVE the real thing, but now it produces inferior results–especially if whatever you put it on will not be eaten in it’s entirety the day it’s made.

I used chocolate sprinkles to finish this off, but a nice hot fudge sauce drizzled on top would be really nice. So would flaked coconut.
