These cappuccino brownies are the perfect sweet treat for coffee lovers. With a rich, fudgy brownie base infused with espresso, topped with a creamy cappuccino frosting, these brownies are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a special treat for yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until well combined.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. In a mixing bowl, beat together the brewed coffee, heavy cream, and powdered sugar to make the cappuccino frosting.
  7. Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and cut into squares to serve.

Interesting Facts
