Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a 20 x 20cm square tin with baking paper.
Place the butter(cubed), caster sugar and cocoa into your Thermomix bowl and cook for 3 minutes, 70 degrees speed 2. If the butter hasn’t quite melted, cook for a further 1 minute, 70 degrees, speed 1.
Add the vanilla extract, eggs, plain flour and Kahlua and mix for 10 seconds on speed 4 to combine.
Scrape down the sides and mix for a further 10 seconds on speed 4.
Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and bake for 32 – 35 minutes.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before topping with Kahlua Icing
To make the Kahlua Icing, combine all of the icing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until smooth and combined. If your mixture is too hard (you want to to be spreadable) add an extra teaspoon of boiling water.
Notes
It is important to cook the butter, cocoa and sugar mixture until the sugar begins to dissolve. If you can still see sugar granules in the mixture, extend the cooking time by a further 60 seconds.
We use a 20cm square baking dish to make these brownies, you can use different shaped pans however the depth of the brownies and the cooking time will differ.
These Brownies are freezer friendly.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and consume within three days.
You can make these brownies a day in advance, however I think there is nothing better than enjoying these fresh, so where possible try and make them on the day you intend to eat them.
