☕🍫✨ Frosted Coffee Brownies
Ingredients:
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp coffee extract or 1 tbsp instant coffee
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1½ tsp instant coffee granules
• 2–4 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and coffee extract (or instant coffee), mixing until smooth.
Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth.
Add the coffee cream mixture and beat until creamy. Add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!
