Espresso Brownies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- 6 oz (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup (250 ml) sugar
- 3 eggs
- 6 small scoops vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) hot espresso
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 170 °C (325 °F). Line the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang 2 sides, and butter the other 2 sides.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the top part of a double boiler, melt the chocolate and the butter. Remove the top part of the boiler. Whisk in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk for 2 minutes. Gently stir in the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake until the centre is set but still moist, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan, about 4 hours. Unmould and cut into small squares.
- Place brownie pieces in coffee cups. Top with scoops of ice cream and drizzle with a small amount of espresso.
