Cold-brew Coffee Base

Where a recipe calls for cold-brew coffee, steep one cup of ground coffee to five cups of cool water in your Madesco cold-brew coffee filter pouch for at least 16 hours. You can get your cold brew coffee filters here.

1. Strawberry Cold Coffee Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• 3 ½ oz. semi sweet chocolate
• 8 Tbsp. of butter, browned
• ½ cup Madesco cold brew coffee
• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Strawberry or raspberry flavoured frosting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
3. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.
4. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it just turns golden brown.
5. Pour the browned butter into the bowl of chocolate, scraping the pan to get the brown bits (this prevents it from overcooking).

7. Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and shiny (2 minutes).
8. Continue beating on low while adding flour mixture (dry ingredients) and wet ingredients alternatively.
9. Finish with the vanilla.

11. Pour into a buttered and floured 9 x 13 pan.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes on the center rack.
13. Allow brownies to cool then use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out your heart shaped brownie. Layer brownies with frosting in the center to create a brownie sandwich!
