Receta Outrageous Brownies
I am finally posting on the actual reveal day for the #chocolateparty! Honestly, I almost thought about skipping this month. But September marks the 1 year anniversary, and I have done every other month over the last year, so I couldn’t skip the last one. The ingredient we had to pair with chocolate this month? Coffee.
See, I know that coffee and chocolate are a classic combination, but I don’t like coffee. I am sure I have mentioned this before, but I just can not get on board with it. I have read and seen in many places over the years, that coffee can be used in a chocolate recipe to enhance the chocolate flavor, not necessarily add coffee flavor. To be honest, I didn’t believe it. Coffee has such a distinct, strong flavor, I didn’t think it was possible. I finally decided to put this theory to the test.
Guess what? They were right! If you use just a little big of coffee granules in a recipe, you can’t taste the coffee. It just gives the chocolate a deep and rich flavor. I have had my eye on Ina Garten’s brownie recipe for years. So once I decided to actually buy coffee at the store, this was the recipe I was going to try. I am so glad I finally gave in. The brownies are so fudgy, rich, and chocolatey. Kind of makes me wonder what other things I have been missing out on!
