# Steps To Follow:

Preheat oven to 175°C. Combine brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water according to package or homemade instructions. Pour batter into a 23x23 centimeter baking pan. Bake as directed on the package. Allow brownies to cool completely. Using the back of a wooden spoon, create evenly spaced holes across the surface of the brownie.

In a bowl, whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with full-fat coconut milk until the mixture is thickened. Gently fold in shredded coconut. Evenly spread this mixture over the cooled, poked brownie base. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Using an electric mixer, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Carefully spread the whipped cream over the chilled coconut layer.

Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips in a bowl. Let stand for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour ganache over the whipped topping layer.

Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the top. Add fresh mint leaves if desired. Chill the dessert until fully set. Slice into neat squares and serve cold.
