Description

Rich, fudgy brownies swirled with creamy cheesecake and infused with the bold flavors of espresso martini. Perfect for any occasion, these brownies are a decadent treat that combines coffee, chocolate, and a hint of vodka.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) vodka
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) coffee liqueur
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in espresso powder, vodka, and coffee liqueur. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the cheesecake layer.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, reserving about 1/2 cup. Dollop the cheesecake mixture on top, then swirl with a knife. Add the reserved brownie batter in dollops and swirl again.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and cheesecake layer. Chill the brownies before slicing for cleaner edges. For an extra coffee kick, sprinkle a little espresso powder on top before serving.
