Decadent Fudgy Brownies Recipe for Chocolate Lovers

Today I’m sharing my entry for the #chocolateparty reveal. I almost skipped this month, but September marks the one-year anniversary and I didn’t want to miss the final round. The ingredient pairing this month was coffee, which felt challenging since I’m not a coffee fan.

I’d heard that a small amount of coffee can actually enhance chocolate without making the finished dessert taste like coffee. It sounded unlikely, so I decided to put the idea to the test. I tried Ina Garten’s famous Outrageous Brownies, adding a little instant coffee to the batter.

The result surprised me: the coffee deepened and enriched the chocolate flavor without adding a coffee taste. The brownies turned out fudgy, rich, and intensely chocolatey. I cut the recipe in half for a smaller pan and was delighted with how decadent they were.

Ingredients

1 pound butter
1 pound semisweet chocolate
6 oz unsweetened chocolate
6 whole large eggs
3 Tablespoon instant coffee granules
2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups walnuts, chopped
1 12oz bag semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 12x18x1 inch jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, melt together the butter, semisweet chocolate, and unsweetened chocolate. Let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Add the melted chocolate and stir to combine.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 15 minutes. Rap the baking sheet against the oven racks to release air, then bake for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Ina Garten. I cut the full recipe in half and used a smaller sheet pan (about 7×10 inches).
