Mocha Brownies
If there is one word to describe these brownies, it’s decadent! Not only is the brownie itself delicious, but it's topped with a coffee, chocolate and caramel schmear that defies explanation. It really is that good! Thank you to food scientist Katie Rosenberg for this delicious addition to our recipe box.
Brownie Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup cane sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet and milk)
Step 1: Melt chocolate in microwave at 50% power. After melted, stir in oil.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and cold brew.
Step 3: Once cooled, add chocolate mixture to the liquid ingredients just prepared.
Step 4: Fold flour and cocoa into combined ingredients.
Step 5: Bake at 340°F for 22 minutes.
Schmear Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chocolate
- 1/4 cup caramel
- 2 tablespoons coarse coffee grounds
Step 1: Melt together in microwave at 50% power, and add a splash of oil during the process.
Step 2: Blend together and spread on top of cooled brownie.
The schmear is not meant to be as thick as a frosting and remains deliciously gooey.
