How to Make Brownies With Kahlua Coffee Glaze
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x12 inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out later. Grease and flour the parchment paper.
- Combine 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering water bath (double boiler).
- Stir until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking until fully combined.
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
- To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Kahlúa, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter until smooth.
- Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, whisking until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
- Let the glaze set for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving.
