Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 170 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 large egg
- 200 grams dark chocolate (chopped)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl and add it to the mixture. Mix gently until the dough comes together. Reserve 1/3 of the dough for the crumble topping.
Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped dark chocolate. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the chocolate-coffee filling over the base layer in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Crumble the reserved dough evenly over the top of the filling to create the crumbly topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
