Rich and Dense Grown-up Brownies

cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

I'm not fond of overly sweet treats, so I tried adding coffee to accent these brownies. Coffee and chocolate go perfectly together.
The slight bitterness and fragrance of the coffee makes these brownies perfect for the grown-up palate.

Use whatever type of nuts and chocolate that you like. You can just use walnuts and it will still be delicious. I recommend using bitter or dark chocolate!
If you're not using almonds to decorate the top, you jut need to bake this for 20 minutes at 170°C!
I also recommend decorating the top with icing or melted chocolate. Recipe by yaburie

  3. 3

    Put the nuts from Step 1 into a thick plastic bag, and crush them with a rolling pin. The brownies will be crunchy and tastier if you don't crush the nuts too finely.

  4. 4

    Put the broken up chocolate, butter and instant coffee in a small pan, and melt them by holding it above another pan of hot water. The coffee granules can still remain undissolved!

    Pour the batter into the lined tin, level out the surface and then drop the tin from a height a few times onto a counter to eliminate any air pockets. Bake in a preheated 170°C oven for 10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Take the tin out and arrange almonds on the top in to form little hearts. Put back in the oven and bake at 170°C for another 10 minutes. (I just topped half of the brownies with almonds here.)

  9. 9

    Take it out of the paper and remove from the tin. Let cool on a rack.

    When it has cooled down, cut up as you like. I also recommend wrapping each piece individually to give as gifts.

  11. 11

    This is how the cut sides look. It's packed with nuts! The moist, rich, slightly bitter chocolate and the crunchiness of the nuts are amazing!

    I like chocolate and love brownies. These have a very distinct sweetness.・When microwaving the chocolate and butter, please be careful not to burn it.・If the eggs aren't at room temperature, break and mix them in a separate container, then add to the bowl.・It's okay to reduce the amount of sugar.

    The praline chocolate tart I made was so delicious that I decided to try using soft tart filling to make brownies.If you're using another type of chocolate instead of sweet chocolate, you might want to adjust the amount of granulated sugar. If you like really rich brownies, you can increase the amount of chocolate to 150 g. Recipe by ko-ko

    I bake brownies for Valentine's day every year, but recently I've been really into preparing them with pancake mix because they make easy but delicious brownies.Don't overcook the chocolate while melting it.I used "Ghana" milk chocolate. If you use a different brand chocolate, adjust the amount of sugar.The batter is thick so smooth the surface prior to baking. For 20 x 20 cm [7.9 x 7.9 in] baking pan. Recipe by momotaro23

    I received a lot of dark brown sugar, so I scribbled down a recipe to try to use it up.It's best if your brown sugar is broken into a powdery consistency. If it's not, grate it finely.You can even try adding some nuts to the batter.Adjust the baking times according to your oven and microwave.The pan I used is what I use to make steamed egg custard.
