Easy Kahlua Brownies

I am taking a break from my cooking for tonight’s dinner party.  Tonight’s theme is Mexican and I have incorporated some vegan dishes into the night’s menu to accommodate one of my guests. I really like when people have some DIET RESTRICTIONS (not for them) but as a challenge to me to be more creative.  One of the vegan dishes is a Vegan and Gluten Free Chocolate Avocado Mousse.  I already tasted it and it is good.  It amazes me how good my vegan chocolate creation is when I contrast it with these Easy Kahlua Brownies.  These brownies are so decadent and the accent of the Kahlua is so tasty.  The vegan dessert is no less decadent.  I have also made Vegan Chocolate Avocado Brownies which were quite good.

Easy Kahlua Brownies

My wife and I love to share a glass of wine together either before or after dinner.  Not too long ago, I asked her to make me a creative after dinner drink.  As a confession, she made me a Kahlua and cream.  The trick is there was no cream in the drink.  She used the Vanilla Almond Milk I have on hand for my morning shake recipe.  I am totally in love with the combination of the Kahlua and vanilla almond milk.  It is addicting, so I definitely need to limit how often I allow myself this treat!

These Easy Kahlua Brownies are truly easy to make.  The brownie, or should I say fudge, has the typical ingredients including DARK  brown sugar.  The Kahlua is added into the wet ingredients as you would expect.  It is also added into the brownie ingredients.  If you think there will be too much of an alcohol taste, not at all.  However, unlike a lot of recipes where the alcohol is cooked out, the Kahlua is not cooked all the way out.  I may just be imagining the taste but I feel you can really taste it.
