Coffee Brownies"a.k.a - Cappuccino Brownies!"
These coffee brownies are filled with a rich cappuccino cream
layer.
My friend Michelle has been making this Italian cookie recipe for the past fifteen plus years. These cappuccino brownies consist of a fudge brownie base, then a creamy cappuccino layer topped off with a chocolate glaze. Y-i-i-i-i-kes, I know decadent! But well worth the calories! I've loved these ever since Michelle baked them for me years ago. But somehow when she makes them they always taste better than when I do. Why is that? There always seems to be a special magic when others bake for you! If you are wanting to substitute certain ingredients I wouldn't stray too far from this recipe if I were you. This coffee brownie captures both flavors - the coffee and the chocolate. But if you are out of certain things - I get it. There are some suggestions in substitutions and FAQs below. Can I use almond extract instead of vanilla?I wouldn't. This is incredibly rich and the almond would almost be an overkill cancelling
out the coffee and chocolate flavor.
Can I use pecans instead of walnuts?There's nothing wrong with pecans and any nut could be put in place.
I never use them in any Italian dessert recipes. We use almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts.
Can I use ricotta instead of cream cheese?You probably could.
Since I haven't experimented with a ricotta substitution I can't speak with any "Thus saith I am the authority and here's how you do it." BUT here's what I would
try if I wanted to use ricotta:
NOTE: Word of caution - I haven't tried this. You're on your own to experiment, then let me know. What can I use for the espresso?Do you have coffee? I once used a VERY STRONG COFFEE.
And my coffee brownies came out wonderful. However, that was over 10 years ago, so I can't be exact ratios of coffee grounds
and water. But you get the idea, strong means STRONG!
Looking for other Italian dessert recipes that use Instant Espresso?I LOVE working with Instant Espresso. I'm a big fan of baking with it in desserts. See these
