Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup strong coffee (prepared)
  • 12/3 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 2 ounces liquid red food coloring OR 2 tablespoons gel red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 11/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 24 Oreo cookies

Ganache and Garnish

  • 1 recipe Microwave Chocolate Ganache (prepared as per recipe instructions)
  • Additional Oreos (crushed, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter gently to avoid burning.
  3. Add Cocoa and Coffee: Stir in the cocoa powder and prepared strong coffee into the melted butter until well combined, creating a rich chocolate base.
  4. Combine Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla: Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  5. Add Vinegar and Food Coloring: Mix in the white vinegar and your choice of liquid or gel red food coloring until the color is fully incorporated. Gel food coloring is recommended for a more vibrant red hue.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined to avoid overmixing and maintain brownie texture.
  7. Prepare Baking Pan and Batter: Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan, pour the batter evenly into the pan, and smooth the surface.
  8. Place Oreos: Arrange 24 Oreo cookies evenly across the batter in four rows and six columns for perfect distribution.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the brownies are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Prepare Ganache: While brownies bake, prepare the Microwave Chocolate Ganache according to the recipe instructions.
  11. Cool and Top: Let the brownies cool for 5 minutes after baking, then cover the surface with the prepared chocolate ganache.
  12. Garnish and Chill: Garnish the brownies with crushed Oreos and refrigerate until the ganache is set, providing a delicious finishing touch.

Notes

  • For the red food coloring, gel food coloring is preferred over liquid for a more intense color with less quantity.
  • Both original and Double Stuf Oreo varieties work well in this recipe; choose according to your preference.
  • A typical package of Oreos yields about six cookies extra for crushing as garnish.
  • Do not overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
  • Using strong coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee.
