Espresso Brownies are ultra fudgy chocolate and espresso brownies, topped with an espresso chocolate buttercream. The espresso really enhances the chocolate in the brownies making them intensely dark and and rich. The more you add, the more ‘mocha’ the brownies become.

I know I’m late posting! Apologies but I have an exam tomorrow so as you can imagine, my time has been spent studying. Next week, things will go back to normal, but until then, enjoy these Espresso Brownies!

These brownies are based off my classic fudgy brownies recipe. The recipe always yields fudgy brownies. The only change is the addition of a shot of espresso.

(If you don’t have espresso powder, regular instant coffee, dissolved in water will work as well.)

How much espresso powder you add is up to you and how much you like coffee. I only put in a tsp to enhance the chocolate flavour but you could add a tablespoon to make these more coffee and chocolate flavour.

That is entirely up to your personal taste.
