More About This Recipe

  • A number of ingredients in this brownie dessert take it over the top, but the one you may be scratching your head at is the coffee. Don’t worry—this is not a mistake! Strong-brewed coffee or a shot of espresso is actually a common ingredient in decadent brownie desserts because it enhances and adds depth to the chocolate flavor (and surprisingly, it doesn’t add a strong coffee flavor to your dessert). If you’re unsure about this addition, you can substitute it with water, but if you are a big chocolate fan, we recommend giving this a try! The best thing about brownies is that they’re so easy to customize. Whether you try this brownie dessert or want to add a cookie dough or minty twist, we have every creative brownie recipe you’re looking for. Click here to see them all!
