Ingredients
-
1 box brownie mix
-
½ cup (120 ml) oil
-
⅓ cup (80 ml) hot coffee
-
1 egg
-
1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips
-
⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
-
⅓ cup (60 g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan (or smaller for thicker brownies) with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together brownie mix, oil, hot coffee, and egg until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
-
Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Let cool completely.
-
Optional: Freeze the brownies for 10–15 minutes to make cutting easier.
-
Use a football-shaped cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut brownies into football shapes.
-
For ganache: Heat heavy cream in microwave for 30–45 seconds, pour over chocolate chips, cover, let sit, then whisk smooth.
-
Dip tops of brownies in ganache. Refrigerate to set.
-
Melt white chocolate chips in short bursts and stir until smooth. Pipe football laces onto brownies. Chill again to set.
Notes
Coffee enhances chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste.
Freeze brownies briefly before cutting for cleaner shapes.
Don’t skip the ganache—it adds a glossy, delicious finish.
No piping bag? Use a zip-top bag with a snipped corner.
Store decorated brownies in a single layer or separated by parchment.
