Here are the details:

Starting with the ricotta swirl,

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

Grab a bowl and combine ricotta cheese, egg white, coffee, orange zest, some 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.

mix 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 brownie 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. The coffee brownie is ready for baking.

Why is this coffee brownie with ricotta swirl so good!

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

How to serve coffee brownies?

We love the brownies chilled because they taste like a delicious pudding dessert. Although serving them warm will keep them slightly goey, making them super tasty.
