Cookbook:Ultimate Kahlua Brownies

The original contributor left the following anecdote about this recipe:"'I accidentally spilled some coffee liqueur on a brownie I was about to eat, and when I tried it is was heavenly. That is how I came up with this dish.'"

Ingredients

 * 4 brownie squares, 6 x 6 x 1¼ inches
 * ½ cup coffee liqueur
 * Warm hot fudge topping, poured into a squirt bottle
 * 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
 * Mixed nut topping (optional)
 * Mint sprigs, for garnish
 * Sweetened whipped cream

Procedure

 * 1) Place 1 square on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on high 20 seconds or until desired warmth. Repeat with next 4 squares.
 * 2) Slowly bring liqueur to a boil in a pan over low heat. Drizzle evenly over brownie squares.
 * 3) Place a scoop of ice cream on each square and top with a good amount of whipped cream. Drizzle the whole thing with hot fudge and sprinkle with nut topping, if using.
 * 4) Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Walnut brownies work very well in this dish.

Warnings

 * Don't try to speed up the liqueur by raising the heat. If you're working on an open-flame stovetop, that could result in fire.
