If you're a fan of hot chocolate, then we'd bet you've tried Mexican hot chocolate. It's rich and creamy and spiced with cinnamon and cayenne, and is probably our favorite way to enjoy hot chocolate. That is, until we made it brownies. Yes, we made it brownies. And we suggest you try them.
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and butter or grease a 8-inch cast iron skillet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the butter and espresso powder, whisking until fully incorporated.
3. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and eggs. Whisking until just combined.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, cinnamon, and cayenne.
5. Add the dry ingredients to your egg mixture, and fold to combine. (Overmixing at this stage will yield a cakey brownie – so take care to fold carefully but gently.)
6. Pour the mixture into the pan. Top with the chocolate chips, keeping the chocolate chips 1 to 2 inches away from the edge of the skillet. Lightly press the chocolate chips into the batter. (The chocolate chips should be stuck into the batter but not covered. It’s worth the effort once baked!)
7. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center is clean with a few crumbs.
8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with topping (if desired). Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve and enjoy!
*If you can't find instant espresso powder, you can substitute instant coffee granules.
