Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
1 (18.25 ounce) package brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons water
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons coffee concentrate (such as Cool Brew®)
4 cups whipped topping, divided
4 cups whole milk
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, or to taste
2 tablespoons shaved dark chocolate, or to taste
½ teaspoon espresso powder, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water in a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until well blended. Spread into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and coffee in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over cooled brownies and refrigerate while preparing pudding.
  • Whisk milk and instant chocolate pudding in a large bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes. Let stand until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have a coffee maker, you can use instant coffee powder. Just dissolve 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water.
  • You can also use a chocolate ganache instead of frosting. To make a chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it is just simmering. Then, remove the cream from the heat and add 8 ounces of chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Brownies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze brownies for up to 2 months.

Layered Mocha Brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
