For the icing:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 2 cups | Confectioners’ sugar |
| 1/2 cup | Cocoa powder |
| 1 tsp | Ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 cup | Heavy cream |
| 2 tbsp | Brewed coffee |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Prepare a jelly-roll pan (15 1/2-by-10 1/2-by-1-inch) by greasing it well.
-
Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, eggs, flour, butter, coffee, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Beat at low speed until lightly mixed, then increase to medium speed and beat for about 30 seconds.
-
Add Mix-ins: Stir in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Bake: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared jelly-roll pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the brownies are springy to the touch. Be careful not to overbake.
-
Prepare Icing: While the brownies are baking, prepare the icing. Cream the butter until smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon. In another bowl, combine the heavy cream and brewed coffee.
-
Combine Ingredients: Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and the cream mixture to the creamed butter, beating until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and stir until smooth and spreadable.
-
Ice the Brownies: Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Then, spread the prepared icing evenly over the top of the brownies.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the iced brownies to cool to room temperature before cutting them into bars. For an extra touch, garnish with melted white chocolate in an abstract decorative pattern, if desired.
Enjoy the rich and aromatic flavors of these Coffeehouse Cappuccino Brownies with friends and family as a delightful treat for any occasion! 🍫☕
