Read on for my recipe for Mochachino Brownies
I’m off to visit Rosemary this weekend so wanted to make us a sweet treat that was a bit more adult than the usual goodies I make at home for us. On a rummage through the larder I came across a little bottle of the coffee liqueur I made last year, aha, something with booze and coffee. Why not throw in chocolate and go for gooey brownies. Nuts, why not…..
Mochachino
That coffee shop classic, the mochachino, coffee and chocolate. A marriage made in heaven, or at least in a mug!
I have to say this was a wee bit of a hodge podge recipe, but hey it works and they taste great. If you want to bake them for kids then just use more strong coffee instead of the coffee liqueur that I added to my mochachino brownies.
Try these coffee and chocolate brownies (my Mochachino Brownies) and see what you think.
