KAHLUA COFFEE BROWNIE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• BROWNIE:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a 9-inch (23cm) spring-form pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides.
• Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a medium sized bowl.
• Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
• In another medium sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Cheesecake Filling:.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour on low speed until well completely combined and smooth. Be sure to use low speed to reduce the amount of air added to the batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the sour cream and mix on low speed until well combined.
• In a small bowl, combine the Kahlua and coffee granules and stir until the granules are dissolved.
• Add Kahlua mixture and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix on low speed until well combined.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly to combine after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined.
• When the brownie is done baking, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). Remove the brownie from the oven and pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the brownie.
• Wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil, then place the springform pan inside another larger pan. (See my tutorial for preventing springform pans from leaking.) Fill the outside pan with enough warm water to go about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. The water should not go above the top edge of the aluminum foil on the springform pan.
• Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. The center should be set, but still jiggly.
• Turn off the oven and leave the door closed for 30 minutes. The cheesecake will continue to cook, but slowly begin to cool as well.
• Crack the door of the oven for 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake to continue to cool slowly. This process helps prevent cracking.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath wrapping and refrigerate until firm, 5-6 hours or overnight. Once completely cool and firm, remove from the springform pan.
• Chocolate Ganashe:.
• Place the chocolate chips in a small heat proof bowl.
• Combine the heavy whipping cream and Kahlua in a glass measuring cup heat just until it begins to boil.
• Pour the hot liquid over the chocolate chips and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
• Pour the hot liquid over the chocolate chips and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
• Pour the chocolate ganache onto top of cheesecake and spread evenly.
• Kahlua Whipped Cream:.
• To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, Kahlua and powdered sugar to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Pipe the whipped cream onto the top of the cheesecake.
• Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with cocoa powder, if desired.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cheesecake is best for 3-5 days.

BROWNIE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake brownie mix according to package directions in a 13 x9 inch pan. Prick top of warm brownies at 1 inch intervals with wooden pick and brush with Kahlua. Cool brownies and crumble into small pieces.
• Prepare 3 packages of pudding mix according to package directions, USING a total of 4 cups of milk instead of 6 cups, and omitting chilling procedure.
• Place one-third of crumbled brownies in a 3 quart trifle bowl; top with one-third each of pudding, whipped topping, and crushed candy bars.
• Repeat layers twice using remaining ingredients, ending with crushed candy bars. Cover and chill trifle at least 8 hours.

CHOCOLATE KAHLUA® TRIFLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs together in a mixing bowl until smooth, and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the brownies shows moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Set the brownies aside, and cool completely. Use a chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the brownies, about 1/2-inch apart; drizzle the coffee liqueur all over the brownies. Let the brownies stand 5 minutes to soak up the liqueur.
• In a bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes; allow to stand 5 more minutes to set.
• To assemble dessert, cut the brownies up into small cubes. Layer 1/3 of the brownies into the bottom of a glass trifle bowl, and top with a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped topping. Repeat twice more, ending with whipped topping. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.
