Amaretto Brownies- these dense, fudgy brownies have lots of almond flavor and a crunchy layer of almonds on top.
I absolutely adore almond-flavored desserts and chocolate and almond desserts are especially enticing.
Three Sources of Almond Flavor
These brownies are loaded with almond flavor. There’s almond extract in the brownie batter, the brownies get drizzled with amaretto just before being baked, and there’s a layer of sliced almonds on top.
In addition to almond flavor, these brownies are intensely chocolaty. The chocolate flavor comes from both unsweetened chocolate and mini chocolate chips.
How To Make
- Combine butter cubes and chopped unsweetened chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Stir until completely melted. Let cool 5 minutes. Alternately, you can microwave the butter and chocolate for 30 second intervals until melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cooled chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Whisk in eggs one at a time.
- Stir in flour, salt, and chocolate chips.
- Transfer to a 9-inch square pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Drizzle with Amaretto and sprinkle with almonds.
- Bake for 43 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. This is the hardest part ๐
These Amaretto Brownies taste great served as is and even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
