Frosted Espresso-Glazed Brownies

I made these brownies for my cousin's birthday party and they were scrumptious!!! I have so many people asking me for the recipe, so here it is:

Ingredients:

Brownie Layer
1 pan DCD Truffle Fudge Brownie Mix, prepared

Chai-Cinnamon Frosting Layer
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ stick of butter, at room temperature
1½ cups powdered sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon DCD Spiced Chai Tea

Glaze layer
2 tablespoons butter
3 bars DCD Chef-Series Dark Chocolate (6 oz.)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder,
dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water.

Tools
DCD Offset Spatula, DCD Parchment Sheets

Preparation
1. Prepare DCD Truffle Fudge Brownies as directed. Line pan with parchment paper for easy release and cleaning. Let cool and lift parchment sheet to remove brownies from pan.
2. With an electric mixer, cream together the cream cheese and butter, until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and Spiced Chai Tea, beating the frosting until it is thoroughly combined. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Chill for 1 hour. While brownies are chilling, prepare glaze.
3. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and Dark Chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously. Pour in heavy cream and espresso, whisking together until smooth. Remove glaze from heat and let cool.
4. Pour glaze over frosted brownies and chill, covered, for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
5. Cut brownies into 1 1/4" squares and serve.

Note: I did not put in the espresso powder not knowing who enjoys coffee and who does not. They were scrumptious and you will be the hit of the party when you bring them!!

Memorial Day!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

As we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day and honor our fallen men and women, here are some ideas I will be incorporating into our celebration on Monday....


Chocolate covered cherries - white chocolate (or milk/dark)

Chocolate covered strawberries - dip in white chocolate (or milk/dark) then into blue sprinkles for a Red, White and Blue effect! So cute!!!!

Strawberries filled with chocolate mousse - cut the stems off so there is a cavity inside the strawberry and cut a little off the tip of the strawberry so it stands up - Double YUM Factor!!!!

Brownie Kabobs - FUN for the kiddos!!! Take a skewer and alternate strawberries, truffle fudge brownie bites, pineapple, etc...drizzle chocolate or raspberry/strawberry sauce on - YUM!!!

Chocolate truffles - dip in white/dark chocolate and sprinkle red, white and blue jimmies or stars on top!

Truffle fudge brownies topped with red, white and blue transfer sheet for beautifully decorated brownies, everyone will wonder how you did it!

Nothing says Memorial Day like cherries, strawberries and chocolate! Just a sample of ideas! You will be the HIT of the party!!!!

Thank you! Enjoy your weekend....
