I bought a few pints of Starbucks ice cream the other day on sale, and I decided that tonight I wanted a bit more for dessert than just ice cream. But what goes well with coffee ice cream? Chocolate and espresso of course!!
Brownies
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons espresso powder
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Glaze
2 teaspoons espresso powder
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. In medium bowl combine water, oil, and eggs. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir in espresso powder and chocolate chips. Pour into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with no stick spray. Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees and bake for 35 minutes (or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).
While you are waiting for the brownies to finish, dissolve the 2 tsp. of espresso powder into the 2 tbsp of water. Add extract, butter, and powdered sugar and beat until combined and creamy.
When brownies are done, pour glaze on top and cool immediately and thoroughly.
Serve with a scoop of coffee flavored ice cream and ENJOY!!
(I really suck at this whole "remembering to take pictures of what I made" thing, I promise I will get better. but you will NOT be disappointed if you make these!)
And if you stop by my house in the next few days you can try one for yourself!!
