Hey all- Do you have an absolute favorite flavor of ice cream?? Mine is Jamocha Almond Fudge. I usually intend to try a different flavor, but when it comes down to it, I pretty much always end up with JAF.
So here is the best ice cream translated into brownies– Mocha flavored brownies topped with rich creamy almond studded cream cheese frosting. I’m embarrassed to say how many of these I ate!
ALMOND MOCHA BROWNIES
Brownies:
1 family size brownie mix (for a 9″x 13″ pan size)
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 tab. instant coffee (about one small instant coffee packet)
Frosting:
1/4 cup butter, melted (1/2 stick)
2 tab. unsweetened cocoa*
4 oz. cream cheese (1/2 box)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tab. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup whole roasted almonds, cut in half
Mix up the brownies according to the instructions on the box (mine used 1/2 cup oil, 1/3 cup water and 2 eggs). Stir in the instant coffee until it’s all blended in.
Spoon the brownie batter into a 9″ x 13″ baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake it up at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let the brownies cool before you add the frosting.
To make the frosting, use an electric mixer to combine the melted butter and the unsweetened cocoa. Then use the mixer to beat in the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. (Start the mixer on low so you don’t send all the powdered sugar flying!)
Then stir in the almonds and spoon the frosting over the cooled brownies. Enjoy!

Hi Mary– you have to really like chocolate to like these brownies (and I do!). Has it stopped snowing there yet?? Thinking about you… xox
Hi Rhonda, how is your weekend going? I hope it’s been great!😉❤️
It was a good one Mary– had a wedding shower for a close friend’s daughter and it was positively heartwarming. She talked about all she’d learned from us older women and made us cry! And we had rain! hooray! How about you?? I’m imagining you all tucked in for the weekend (except for Tom our shoveling!!). Stay warm! xox
That sounds inspiring and special! It’s wonderful your friend’s daughter appreciates you all, very heartwarming!We just got a lit of snow, maybe 12 inches or more. Time to dig out and go to school!😁💕
No, it’s still snowing now and then. In a day or two we are getting more snow! I’m sick of it…I need to move to California for no snow!Hugs to you😁👍
Come out and stay in our little guest room Mary!! (live near Disneyland and 30 minutes from the beach!). Just get a little dose of sunny weather! hugs!
Oh gosh, wouldn’t that be much fun! I wouldn’t need Disneyland, just a pot of coffee and a good friend! How is your housemate doing?🦋🌈
Ooh waw, rhoinda! These look incredibly delicious! Perfect with a café latte!
Good idea Sophie!! xoxox
