Latte Brownies

Dessert

Nov 22

Anything mocha flavored gets my vote. I love chocolate and coffee flavors mixed together. This recipe does that and uses boxed brownie mix…you can’t get any simpler!

This makes about 12 servings.

NOTES If you want a little stronger coffee flavor, I recommend increasing the espresso powder in the batter just a little. Also, I only used 1.5 cups powdered sugar in frosting.

*If you want to watch the video of this being made, this recipe starts at the 13:33 mark.

Latte Brownies are the perfect treat for chocolate and coffee lovers!

chocolate covered espresso beans (optional) or chocolate chips
For Frosting:
1/4 cup softened butter (4 Tbsp)
4 oz. softened cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sugar (although I used 1.5 cups)

Here’s how to make it

Preheat oven according to brownie box directions.
Prepare brownie batter according to box directions. Once mixed, stir in 1 Tbsp espresso powder.
Spread the batter into baking pan.

While brownies bake, beat together butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract.
