The very best Coffee Brownies with Ricotta Swirl. Coffee and chocolate brownie batter for the ultimate gluten-free coffee brownies. Lightly sweetened ricotta cheese with a hint of orange zest and mini chocolate chips swirled throughout the brownie batter before baking to perfection.

two desserts in one coffee brownie,

Everything about this coffee brownie is so GOOD! Each bite is filled with rich coffee pudding-like brownies and a light cannoli-style ricotta swirl with extra chocolate. The best of both desserts is made into one gluten-free brownie.

These gluten-free coffee brownies are a little more creative and extra special. They are melt in your mouth deliciousness.

Enjoy them warm, or let them cool and serve them chilled. This gluten-free dessert also packages well for gifting this holiday season.

It’s officially holiday season!

November is officially the holiday season, and as far as desserts, anything goes. But, of course, indulging in rich, decadent desserts during holidays makes them extra special.

The coffee brownies with ricotta swirl are simple to make and guaranteed to be a hit.

Here are the details!

Starting with the ricotta swirl,

The ricotta swirl makes this coffee brownie extraordinary, yet it is so simple to make.

Grab a bowl and combine ricotta cheese, egg white, coffee, orange zest, only a little sugar and mini chocolate chips. That’s it!

Next, make the coffee brownie batter,

Using a large bowl and electric mixer, beat the sugar with warm coffee. Then add remaining wet ingredients and mix to combine.

The dry ingredients,

I like to whisk the dry ingredients before I add them to the wet mixture. However, you don’t have to whisk them first. Instead, while the mixer is running, add the dry ingredients until just combined. The brownie batter is now ready.

Pour the batter into a 9-inch square baking pan, then dollop the ricotta mixture over the batter. To make the swirl use a knife and swirl it through the batter. Do not mix it, just do big swirls and bake.

What I love most about this coffee brownie with ricotta swirl!

The mini chocolate chips melted in the ricotta cheese. The orange zest compliments the chocolate. And if you are using alcohol, the brownie becomes an extra special treat. 

Warm or cold brownie?

I like my brownies chilled because they remind me of a delicious pudding-like dessert. Although serving them warm and a little goey is also super yummy.
