Air-Fryer Coconut Barfi Brownie Squares preparation stage

You’ll Need

100g dark chocolate
100g butter
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
75g self-raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
For The Coconut Layer
100g desiccated coconut
100ml condensed milk
½ tsp ground cardamom
For The Finish
25g dark chocolate, melted
1 tbsp chopped pistachios
Optional But Dangerous
Vanilla ice cream
Extra condensed milk
White chocolate drizzle

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 160°C.

Line a small square baking tin or foil tray with baking paper.

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth.

Whisk in the sugar and eggs until glossy.

Fold through the flour and cocoa powder until combined.

Pour half the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.

In a separate bowl, mix together the desiccated coconut, condensed milk, and cardamom.

Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the brownie layer.

Carefully spoon over the remaining brownie mixture.

Air fry at 160°C for 14–18 minutes until the top is set and the centre still has a slight wobble.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and scatter over chopped pistachios.

Slice into chunky squares and serve warm or cold.

Lad Tip: The brownie layer should stay slightly fudgy. If it comes out dry, you've gone too far. The goal is rich chocolate, soft coconut, and the sort of square that disappears one piece at a time until suddenly there aren't any left.
