FAQ

Can I use unsalted butter?
Yes! Just add a pinch of salt to maintain flavor balance.

Do I have to use espresso powder?
No, it’s optional but enhances the chocolate flavor without tasting like coffee.

How do I get extra fudgy brownies?
Slightly underbake by 2–3 minutes and let them cool completely; they’ll stay dense and gooey.
