Description
Delicious homemade chocolate brownies with a creamy coffee frosting and chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter
- ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- 4 squares unsweetened chocolate
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and sugar until well combined. Slowly stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- In another small bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda, then gradually add it to the chocolate mixture. Stir until everything is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before adding the filling.
- Mix the instant coffee and whipping cream together in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add in the coffee mixture and beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the buttercream evenly over the cooled brownies and place them in the fridge to chill and set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Let the glaze cool for a couple of minutes, then spread it gently over the chilled buttercream layer.
- Allow everything to set completely, either at room temperature or in the fridge, before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to fully melt the chocolate and butter for a smooth brownie batter.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely for best results before adding the frosting and glaze.
