Chili-cappuccino Brownies Recipe

	Lifeofspice / All my dishes 2 years, 6 months ago I developed this recipe in 2005 for the 31st annual International Hotluck party - a private party that's been going on for years in my hometown and was even featured on the Food Network on a segment about chilies. It was based on a cappuccino brownie recipe I found at a party in Toas, NM... More Prep:300m Cook:30m Servings:18	Lifeofspice

Ingredients

Brownie:

8 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (not unsweetened)

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut-up

2 TB instant espresso powder*, dissolved in 1 TB very hot water

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

4 large eggs

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tb of Chili powder (I use one called Chile Caribe from NM, which I think is pretty hot, but not unbearable)

Frosting:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

3/4 stick unsalted butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, sifted

Glaze:

6 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (not unsweetened)

2 TB unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 TB instant espresso powder*, dissolved in 1 TB very hot water

*(if you can't find espresso powder, instant coffee will probably work too)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Brownies: Melt chocolate in double boiler with butter and espresso mixture. Remove from heat.

Cool to lukewarm, then stir in vanilla and sugar.

Stir in eggs, one at a time.

Stir in flour and salt. Stir in chili.

Pour into a buttered 13"x9" pan. Smooth. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

Let cool completely in pan or on a rack.

Frosting: Cream together cream cheese and butter until fluffy.

Add sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat until combined.

Spread over cooled brownies.

Chill for 1 hour or until firm.

Glaze: In double boiler, melt chocolate, butter, cream and espresso mixture. Stir until smooth.

Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.

Spread over frosting, cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight.

Cut into small squares (they are extremely rich) and enjoy!
