Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 38 minutes
Total Time: 53 minutes
Yield: 1 11×7 pan
Calories: 4859.9
Serving: Makes about 12 brownies
Ingredients:
- 4 squares Baker’s unsweetened chocolate
- 2-3 teaspoons instant coffee
- 3/4 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 11×7 inch baking pan.
-
Melt Chocolate and Butter:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate with butter in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
-
Add Instant Coffee:
- Stir in 2-3 teaspoons of instant coffee into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix well.
-
Incorporate Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla:
- Add the granulated sugar to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
-
Add Flour and Nuts (Optional):
- Stir in the all-purpose flour until just combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
-
Pour Batter into Pan:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake the Brownies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 38-40 minutes. Avoid overbaking; the edges of the brownies should just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
-
Check for Doneness:
- A tester inserted into the center of the brownies should come out with fudgy crumbs attached, not completely clean. This ensures fudgy brownies.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
-
Storage:
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
These fudgy, rich, and moist brownies are perfect for any occasion, from casual snacking to elegant dessert spreads. They are sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings with their intense flavor and decadent texture. Enjoy making and sharing these delightful treats with friends and family!
