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.

ESPRESSO BROWNIES WITH MOCHA GANACHE



Espresso Brownies with Mocha Ganache image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons strong coffee
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan with an overhang on two opposite sides.
  • For the brownies: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk together the sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk just until combined. Using a spatula, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour streaks remain and then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake until the center is slightly set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
  • For the ganache: When the brownies are ready, put the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat the cream and coffee in a small saucepan just until it barely reaches a simmer. Pour the liquid over the chocolate and let sit for 10 seconds before whisking until smooth and shiny. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies, gently shaking to completely coat the top. Let sit at room temperature until completely cool (about 1 hour) or pop into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before sprinkling with sea salt (if using). Run a knife around the edge of the baking pan and use the parchment to lift out the brownies before slicing.

FUDGY MOCHA BROWNIES



Fudgy Mocha Brownies image

I found this recipe on a can of Meadow Gold Sweetened Condensed Milk and thought they sounded nice and easy. These brownies have a white crust layer topped with a seriously chocolatey-sounding brownie layer. I haven't tried these yet, so times are estimated. Let me know if they're any good if you get to them before I do! *NOTE: per the recipe, you can substitute 1 tsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 Tbsp hot water for the coffee liqueur.

FUDGY MOCHA-TOFFEE BROWNIES



Fudgy Mocha-Toffee Brownies image

For me, there is nothing better than the pairing of chocolate and coffee. These brownies are big on flavor and lower in fat compared to many recipes. This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. I don't know the issue or date.

Provided by Chef PotPie

Categories     Dessert

Time 32m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup toffee pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Coat bottom and sides of 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (I don't have a 9-inch baking dish, I used an 8X8 glass dish, and it worked for us since we like our brownies a little wet, we think it's more decadent that way!).
  • Combine coffee and hot water and stir until coffee is dissolved.
  • Combine butter and chocolate chips in microwaveable dish and heat on high for 1 minute until butter melts, then stir until this mixture is smooth.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  • Combine coffee mixture, butter mixture, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  • Add coffee mixture with flour mixture; stir just until combined.
  • Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with toffee chips.
  • Bake at 350F for 22 minutes, cool on wire rack. Cut into squares when competely cooled. We like to refrigerate them before cutting.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest ganache, use high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich and flavorful ganache that pairs perfectly with the mocha fudge brownies.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is hot but not boiling when you pour it over the chocolate. Boiling cream will cause the chocolate to seize, resulting in a grainy ganache.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring it over the brownies. This will help prevent the ganache from melting the brownies.
  • If you want a thicker ganache, refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight before using. This will make it easier to spread and will also give it a more intense flavor. You can also whip the ganache until it reaches the desired consistency; this results in a fluffy, mousse-like ganache that is perfect for topping cakes or cupcakes.
  • For a mocha ganache, add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the heavy cream before heating it. This will give the ganache a rich coffee flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate.
  • If you don't have time to make ganache from scratch, you can use a pre-made ganache mix. Just follow the instructions on the package.

Conclusion:

Ganache is a versatile and delicious topping for a variety of desserts, including brownies, cakes, cupcakes, and ice cream. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With these tips, you'll be able to make perfect ganache every time.
