  • I love this recipe. It brings back happy memories of Princes William and Harry as you boys. I'd serve them with ice cream, usually chocolate and they would sit around the table on a Saturday night at Kensington Palace watching TV and wolfing them down, seeing who could eat the most. Of course, I always had spare in the kitchen. Oh I would love for them both to sit together today over a plate of brownies and ice cream and become friends again.
    It's easy to make and kids (and adults) love it. Try this recipe at home.

    Brownies are the perfect chocolate fix for me, half-way between a candy bar and cake. I love the chew & fudgy versions best, a mixture of coconut oil & butter makes for a really chewy texture. Chocolate & espresso are a match made in heaven, topped with Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream makes it swoon worthy.

    Brownies were the first dessert I learned to bake and successfully make from scratch! Still one of my favorite desserts to this day, especially since chocolate desserts are at the top of my list! I baked brownies from scratch for my best friend once in college to cheer her up from something that happened back then. But yeah, I have heard espresso is great in brownies, but I would never be able to have brownies in the evening if that was the case. Wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

    Excellent tip that works! I read in a cookbook long ago... always add a bit of espresso [or even just a small bit of dry instant coffee] to any chocolate recipe. You won't taste the coffee flavor but it SO enhances the chocolate! I think it has the same effect as vanilla does - you don't usually taste vanilla in anything you bake, but you WOULD miss it if it wasn't there. Thanks, Darren - love watching your videos!

    Every time I hear someone pronounce espresso as expresso I die a little, but yes, just as its great to have a bit of coffee in chocolate to enhance the chocolate flavor, in a coffee dessert its great to have a bit of chocolate as well. Or a Texas style chili for that matter. Definitely going to try this recipe.
    There is a chocolate cake I learned long ago, that is a modified version of what we in sweden calls kladdkaka (sticky cake) which is a chewy goey chocolate cake. But the trick to this one is that you add a layer of tosca like topping, basically you boil sugar, syrup, cream and butter and then put in a lot of coconut flakes. That mixture you then spread on top of the chocolate cake.

    I learnt to bake brownies from scratch as a newlywed in Australia - no box mixes existed.
    We love very dense chewy brownies - and my secret was to use whole wheat flour and raw sugar. We also love VERY chocolate, so I use cocoa powder, then added chocolate chips instead of nuts, and then...
    Spread chocolate chips on the hot brownies to melt, and when everything cooled, added a layer of Nutella on top.

    My favorite brownies are the ones I used to make at a bakery I worked at. They had both melted chocolate and cocoa powder in them, and I would always drop a dollar in the cash box to have one for myself when I sold them at the farmer's market. My mom's recipe for one-pot cocoa brownies were very good as well, and those were easier and less complicated than the ones I made at work. If I make bourbon balls, that calls for dry brownie crumbs rehydrated with bourbon, so a box mix works better in that case because they tend to be drier than brownies made from scratch.

    For new bakers, the type of cocoa used, along with the espresso, will determine the acidity and texture of the brownie, as well.

      I always add a bit of coffee granules or an espresso shot in any chocolate cake I make. It really does make a difference. Just don’t put too much or you’ll end up with a mocha flavoured cake. Which isn’t a bad thing tbh!

      My grandmother used to make a chocolate cake that also contained coffee. This was in the 70s. I think even a bit of instant coffee granules (added to liquid) perks up the chocolate flavor! (I prefer pecans, but yes, I agree with you about the walnuts @stephaniecowans3646 )
