MOCHA FUDGE BROWNIES



Mocha Fudge Brownies image

Chocolate and coffee are perfect partners in these decadent, dense brownies, made with layers of chocolate mocha cake that are topped with rich chocolate ganache.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for baking sheets
8 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Ganache for Mocha Fudge Brownies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat with butter two 8 1/2-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheets, and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Combine butter and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir in espresso powder. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine eggs, sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the chocolate mixture, and whisk to combine. Add flour, and whisk until just combined. Divide batter evenly between prepared baking sheets, using an offset spatula to smooth the surface. Bake, rotating baking sheets, until a shiny crust appears on the surface and the center is still soft when a cake tester is inserted into the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Invert brownies onto parchment paperâ€"lined cutting boards, and remove parchment. Re-invert brownies onto parchment paperâ€"lined cutting boards. Place one of the brownies in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. Let remaining brownie stand, covered at room temperature, for 1 hour. Spread room temperature brownie evenly with ganache. Remove chilled brownie from refrigerator, and place on top of ganache using an offset spatula to loosen, if necessary. Press gently to adhere. Transfer to refrigerator, and chill for 1 hour.
  • Remove from refrigerator, and trim edges. Cut into 2-by-2-inch squares. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a richer brownie batter, use melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
  • Add a cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • To make the ganache, use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • If the ganache is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For a glossy ganache, stir in a tablespoon of corn syrup.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them with ganache. This will help to prevent the ganache from melting.
  • For a professional-looking finish, use a piping bag to apply the ganache to the brownies.

Conclusion:

These espresso brownies with mocha ganache are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. The combination of rich chocolate and coffee flavors is irresistible, and the ganache adds a touch of elegance. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
