Dalgona Coffee Espresso Brownies. Also known as crack in a bite. You guys, these brownies are seriously beyond. Do you see that fudgy, chocolaty, delicious brownie goodness? Then topped with espresso whipped cream inspired by Dalgona Coffee. Which I may or may not have also eaten with a spoon. If you love chocolate and coffee, you need these in your life!

Have you tried Dalgona Coffee yet? It’s been such a huge trend, and I have to admit that I didn’t totally understand it – that is, until I tried it. Why is whipped coffee better than normal coffee? I still don’t know how to answer that question except to say it just is!

And that coffee inspired the topping on these dalgona coffee espresso brownies! Espresso infused whipped cream that is next level, especially when it’s combined with chocolate! Everything is better with chocolate, am I right?

These brownies are seriously delicious, and seriously easy to make! The brownies themselves are made in one bowl, and the whipped espresso topping takes just a few minutes to prepare before serving.

Steps To Make Dalgona Coffee Espresso Brownies:

  • Melt together butter and chocolate chips. This creates a super fudgy base for our brownies.
  • Add the rest of the wet ingredients, and mix to combine. You can uese a stand mixer, or mix these by hand. Just note that the batter is thick! Extra arm workout means more brownies earned, right?
  • Add dry ingredients, followed by chocolate chips.
  • Spoon into baking dish, and bake!
  • Whip together the espresso whipped cream topping, and spread over cooled brownies! Top with shaved chocolate if you’d like. (By the way, be sure the brownies are cooled. The whipped cream will melt if they’re not!)

Description

Easy, fudgy brownies topped with espresso whipped cream. Heaven in a bite!


Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips, divided

2 cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

Espresso Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons granulated sugar


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, and grease a  9×13 baking dish. Set aside.

Melt together the butter and 1/4 cup chocolate chips, either in the microwave or on the stove. Pour into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl. Add the sugar, followed by eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined. Mix in the cocoa powder and salt, and then the flour. Mix until no streaks of flour show. Batter will be thick. Add the remaining chocolate chips.

Spoon the batter into the greased baking dish, and bake until the middle is set – about 35 minutes.

For the espresso whipped cream:

Combine the heavy cream, brewed espresso, vanilla extract and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Spread over completely cooled brownies, and serve.


Notes

Unlike cakes, we don’t need brownies to be completely baked in the middle. Just set is perfect for a gooey and delicious brownie!

Make sure to wait until the brownies are completely cooled before topping with the espresso whipped cream. Warm brownies will melt the whipped cream!
