Orange Liqueur {Cointreau} Brownies

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup coconut milk or an additional 1/2 stick of butter
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Ghirardeli
• 1/2 cup chocolate sweet ground, powder, Ghrardelli + more for sprinkling on top
• 1/3 cup cointreau
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a parchment lined or oiled baking dish (I used a square 8" x 8" casserole dish).
2. In a saucepan, combine butter, coconut milk and heat to medium low, stirring constantly. Once butter is melted, add the two types of chocolate powder, stir until all chunks of cocoa powder are dissolved and the substance is thick. Remove from heat and add the Cointreau, stir and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl or mixer, combine the eggs, vanilla extract and brown sugar. Mix just until creamed (lumps of brown sugar are dissolved). Add the butter/chocolate mixture from the saucepan to egg/brown sugar mixture. Mix just until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk/stir to combine.
5. Add the flour mixture to the "wet" mixture. Mix just until the flour is combined.
6. Bake 35 - 40 minutes until brownies test clean. Sprinkle extra ground chocolate on top.
