Kahlua brownies with chocolate Kahlua ganache. Makes you want to dig in right?
That’s certainly what I did! ps is it possible to get a buzz from these? I’m sure it was the massive amount of chocolate but I definitely felt something going on!
I had to make these Kahlua brownies twice. The first time I went a little too heavy on the Kahlua and they were super dry, not good. So I dialed it back a bit and found the perfect amount. In total, there’s 1/4 cup in the recipe. If you’re looking to booze it up even more (which I did) I’d recommend drizzling some Kahlua over top of the warm brownies before you frost them. Poke some holes with a toothpick and pour another tablespoon over the top.
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe of your favorite brownies prepared as you usually do see notes for addition of Kahlua
For the ganache
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup heavy cream less 2 tbsp for Kahlua (see notes)
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment or foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl combine the brownie ingredients. Oil, water, kahlua, egg and brownie mix. (see notes)
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes.
- When the brownie comes out poke all over with a toothpick and pour 1 tbsp over top to soak in. This is optional.
- Prepare the ganache by placing all the ingredients in a sauce pan over low heat. Whisk until smooth then cool to room temperature. Pour over the cooled brownies and refrigerate until set.
- Before serving, let the brownies sit out of the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
NOTES
- My brownie mix is Ghirardelli. It calls for 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup oil and 1 egg. Instead of using all 1/3 water I placed 2 tbsp of Kahlua in the 1/3 measuring cup and then topped it off with water.
- In the ganache I used 1/3 cup heavy cream plus placed 2 tbsp of kahlua in the 1/3 cup measuring cup and topped it up with heavy cream. So just short of 2/3 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp kahlua.
- You can also poke holes in the brownie with a toothpick when it comes out of the oven and pour another 1 tbsp of kahlua over top to soak in. Cool then frost.
