Frosted Coffee Brownies Bliss Recipe

Introduction

These frosted coffee brownies combine the rich, fudgy texture of classic brownies with a smooth coffee-infused frosting. Perfect for coffee lovers seeking a decadent treat, they’re easy to make and sure to impress.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
• 2 cups Powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Coffee extract (for frosting)
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream (for frosting)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the granulated and brown sugars until well combined.
3. Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
4. Step 4: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. Let the brownies cool completely.
6. Step 6: To make the frosting, combine powdered sugar, heavy cream, and coffee extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth, adjusting the consistency as needed.
7. Step 7: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies, then cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

• For added texture, sprinkle crushed nuts such as walnuts or pecans on top of the frosting before it sets.
• Use brewed espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules for a richer coffee flavor in the brownies.
• If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the powdered sugar slightly or add more heavy cream to thin it out.

Storage

Store the frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week. Allow chilled brownies to come to room temperature before serving, or warm slightly for a soft texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular instant coffee instead of coffee extract in the frosting?

Yes, you can substitute coffee extract with 1 tablespoon of strong brewed instant coffee, but reduce the heavy cream slightly to maintain the frosting consistency.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the brownies are ready. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Brownies

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
• Pinch of salt

For the Frosting

• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Coffee extract
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Melt butter and combine sugars: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Then, stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Add eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
4. Mix dry ingredients: Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
5. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
6. Prepare the frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, coffee extract, and heavy cream. Whisk until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or powdered sugar if necessary.
7. Frost the brownies: Evenly spread the coffee frosting over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve for a delicious coffee-chocolate treat.

Notes

• Optional: Sprinkle with crushed nuts such as walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
• Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
• Use high-quality cocoa powder and coffee extract for the best flavor.
• Store leftover brownies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
