The Simple, Delicious Secret Behind These Gluten-Free Chocolate Coffee Brownies

• The Brownie Batter: A straightforward gluten-free base with my personal twist—coffee and cream for a subtle coffee flavor, while reducing the cocoa powder so the chocolate still shines through.
• The Frosting: The real star of these brownies. Made with chocolate chips, cream, coffee, and Nutella, it comes together quickly in a double boiler and takes only about five minutes to prepare.
• Assembly: Pour the frosting over the warm brownies, and voilà—so simple, yet so delicious.
• The Magic Combination: The combination of coffee and Nutella in the frosting is what truly elevates these brownies. The rich, creamy texture and flavor make them unforgettable.

From the moment I decided to make these gluten-free chocolate coffee brownies, I knew they’d be a hit. The coffee and Nutella combo made them something special!

What is Nutella and Is It Gluten-Free?

Nutella is a popular hazelnut chocolate spread made with sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, and milk. It is naturally gluten-free, but it’s always best to check the label for any updates or cross-contamination warnings, especially if you have a severe gluten intolerance.

The Quest for the Perfect Brownie Texture and Frosting

It was essential to me that these brownies had the perfect texture—rich and buttery, never dense, dry, or cakey, with a frosting that truly stands out. I created an easy chocolate coffee frosting using Nutella, and let me tell you, the combination of Nutella and coffee makes the best brownie frosting you can imagine. Honestly, anything with Nutella is bound to be amazing! And of course, homemade frosting is always the way to go for that extra special touch.
