Triple Threat Brownies

Chocolate is one of the most sensual and pleasing food I know. It has the capacity to tempt even the most stubborn palate. Especially these super decadent fudge brownie bites. The three seductive threats in these brownies are from the coffee liqueur (YUM), instant coffee (YUM), and extra chocolate in the form of chocolate chips (YUM, YUM, YUM)! 

These brownies make your palate submit and come creeping back for more delicious edible pleasure. Once you take your first bite of these brownies, your epic FOODGASM is sure to follow!

Triple Threat Brownies

Makes 24 -30 mini brownies

INGREDIENTS
1.5 sticks unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
2 tablespoon instant coffee

1 cup all-purpose flour
dash salt  (don’t if you used salted butter)
6 oz. chocolate chips

OPTIONAL

24-30 chocolate covered espresso beans (for on top of brownies)

Caramel sauce (see below)

Fresh raspberries, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate on medium heat in saucepan. Melt slowly, stirring periodically until completely melted. Once melted, turn off and remove from heat. Stir in sugar. 

In separate bowl whisk eggs and then stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in the vanilla, coffee liqueur, instant coffee, salt and flour. Slowly mix in chocolate chips. Spray a mini-muffin sheet Add one scoop of dough to each, filling to ¾ full.

Top each with a chocolate covered espresso bean (optional). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove from pan.

 

Caramel cream sauce 

Makes a little over 1 cup of sauce

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sugar

Water (enough to cover the sugar)

6 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS

Put the sugar into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan and put in enough water to just cover the sugar so it looks like wet sand. Before staring, take a wet paper towel and wipe the insides of the pot down to the water/sugar mixture. This is to ensure no sugar burns on the sides. Heat the sugar and water on moderately high heat. Don’t stir at all: you can lightly swirl the mixture in the pan. Be very careful at the heated cooked sugar reaches very high temperatures and can burn easily. 

Let the water boil off until the sugar starts to bubble and the mixture gets thicker and starts to turn color. As soon as all of the sugar crystals have melted (the liquid sugar should be dark amber in color), immediately add the butter to the pan. Whisk until the butter has melted. Once the butter has melted, take the pan off the heat. Then slowly add the cream to the pan and continue to whisk to incorporate. (When you add the butter and the cream, the mixture will foam up considerably.) Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan.

TO SERVE

Ladle caramel sauce on top or beside the brownies and serve with fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
