Indulge in these ultimate coffee-infused chocolate brownies, boasting a perfect balance of sweetness and deep chocolate flavors, enhanced with a hint of espresso.
Ingredients:
- Unsalted butter for a silky-smooth batter
- Cocoa powder, sifted for a fine, lump-free texture
- Granulated sugar, just enough for sweetness
- Large eggs, room temperature for even mixing
- Instant espresso, dissolved in warm water for a coffee kick
- Vanilla extract for a hint of aromatic depth
- A dash of salt to bring out the chocolate flavor
- All-purpose flour for the perfect fudgy structure
- Semi-sweet chocolate, for gooey chocolate bits
Baking Instructions:
- Start by warming your oven and preparing your pan, sizing it for your preferred brownie thickness.
- Gently melt butter over simmering water or in a microwave, then whisk in cocoa powder until smooth.
- Sweeten the mix with sugar, then allow it to cool to a comfortable warmth.
- Vigorously whisk in eggs to achieve that desirable shiny crust.
- Stir in the espresso blend and vanilla essence.
- Fold in the flour just until it disappears into the mix, then introduce chocolate chunks with a gentle touch.
- Pour the batter into your lined pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake until the center reaches your preferred doneness, checking with a thermometer or the toothpick test.
- Allow the brownies to cool slightly, then divide them into hearty squares.
