Recipe Information

Servings: 8 servings
Total Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

100 g granulated sugar
40 g coffee grounds
100 g butter, unsalted
150 g dark chocolate
100 g cashew nuts, chopped
40 g all-purpose flour
2 organic eggs

Instructions

Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a double boiler along with the butter.
Once the chocolate has completely melted, let it cool for a few minutes (but don’t let it solidify).
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks lightly and add the sugar mixed with the coffee grounds until you obtain a smooth paste.
Incorporate this mixture into the melted chocolate, stirring until homogeneous.
Sift in the flour and combine it with the chocolate mixture, mixing well to eliminate any lumps.
Add the chopped cashews and mix again.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions.
Butter and flour a baking pan, then pour in the mixture.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for about 20 minutes. The edges should be cooked while the center remains soft.
Let the brownie cool completely for a few hours before cutting it into squares to avoid breaking.

Notes

For an extra touch, you can top your brownies with whipped cream or serve them with vanilla ice cream.
