  • Muffin tins or a 9 x 6 inch ceramic baking dish is the perfect size for these gluten-free brownies.
  • For extra gooey brownies, bake for 3 to 5 minutes less than the recommended baking time.
  • Avoid using instant coffee in the coffee-infused frosting.

Muffin tins or a small ceramic dish work best for this recipe.

This small batch of gluten-free brownies was the perfect size for us and barely lasted us two days (because they were so good!).

If you have one available to you, a small ceramic baking dish is the perfect size for this small brownie batch (8.5-x-6-inch). The one I have came in a set of three from Crate and Barrel, and this is the smallest size of the set. It worked like a dream. Since, it’s just my husband and me at home, we don’t need a lot of dessert sitting around the house.

You’re also welcome to use a muffin pan for this recipe. You’ll use about 6 or 7 tins. Just be sure to grease the pan before putting the batter inside. The baking time will be slightly lowered in the muffin tins.

For gooey brownies, bake for a few minutes less than the recommended baking time.

For those of you who enjoy gooey brownies, simply lessen the recommended baking temperature by about 3 to 5 minutes. This will give your brownies a fudge, gooey texture that’s irresistible.

If using the muffin tins, bake the brownie muffins for about 18 minutes. If using a small baking dish, 20 to 23 minutes should do the trick.

Use coffee that you would drink for the coffee frosting, doesn’t need to be instant.

To top off these fudge brownies, I’ve included a coffee-infused chocolate frosting recipe to go on top of these brownies.

I recommend using coffee that you have leftover from the morning. There’s no need to brew a fresh batch unless you’re completely out.

I also would advise against using instant coffee for the frosting simply because it imparts a certain taste that I don’t love for these brownies.

An affogato is an Italian dessert consisting of va An affogato is an Italian dessert consisting of vanilla ice cream that is covered by freshly prepared espresso. Enjoy it for breakfast or as an after-dinner dessert.

Though it seems pretty basic in theory, there are a few things to know before going about it to save yourself a few easy-to-make mistakes. Read on for the best affogato-making secrets.

1. The quality of the espresso doesn’t have to be top-tier.

2. The vanilla bean ice cream, on the other hand, does need to taste good…REALLY good. Since an affogato is mostly ice cream, it needs to be high-quality ice cream. It will make or break your final result.
(Try Salt & Straw if you haven’t already!) 

3. Pour the espresso over the scooped ice cream as soon as you can after the shot has been pulled.

4. Garnish the finished product with chocolate shavings and a one-inch square of prepared salted brownies.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!

⁣
When coffee is paired properly, you’re able to taste enhanced flavors of both the coffee and the food. Foods that are buttery, such as this apple tart, are excellent companions. The coffee intensifies and complements the buttery sweetness of the crust, making for a perfect match.
⁣
Try pairing an apple tart with a full-bodied light roast such as Intelligentsia’s Frequency Blend. This blend has tasting notes of dried fruit, almond, and milk chocolate so you get the best of both worlds.
