Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
8 ounces (228g) coarsely chopped quality semi-sweet chocolate
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (78g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 Tablespoons (10g) natural unsweetened or dutch-process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons espresso powder*
1/4 teaspoon salt
optional: 1/2 cup (90g) mini or regular size semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
8 ounces (224g) full-fat brick style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Or melt in a medium microwave safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring after each, in the microwave. Remove from the heat, pour into a large mixing bowl, and allow to slightly cool for 10 minutes.
  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides to easily lift the brownies out of the pan when cool. Set aside.
  • Whisk the granulated sugar into the cooled chocolate/butter mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla. Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Reduce to medium-high speed and beat in the sugar until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Finally, fold in the white chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Set aside.
  • Spread about half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. The batter is thick, so do your best to spread it to every corner making 1 even layer. Top with all of the cheesecake batter. Spread this in a thick, even layer. Layer on the rest of the thick brownie batter, spreading as best you can. If some cheesecake swirls out on top or if you can't quite cover the corners with brownie batter, that's OK! Sprinkle the optional chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 35-38 minutes or until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with only a few moist crumbs when the brownies are done. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on them after 30 minutes and use the toothpick test to see when yours are finished.
  • Allow the brownies to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 45 minutes. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. The cheesecake layer must be cold before cutting into squares.
  • Once chilled, lift the foil out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into squares. For neat squares, I use a very sharp knife and wipe it clean with a paper towel after each cut.

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick baking spray
Four 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
2 sticks butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 sticks butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • For the brownie batter: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, being careful not to let it burn. Set it aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the melted chocolate. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Add the flour to the bowl and mix just until combined; do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter in the prepared baking pan. Spread it to even out the surface. Bake until the center is no longer soft, 40 to 45 minutes. Set the brownies aside to cool completely before icing.
  • For the icing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla. Mix until slightly combined, then add 1/2 cup of the coffee. Whip until the icing is light and fluffy. If the icing is overly thick, add 1/4 cup more coffee. It should be very light and fluffy.
  • Ice the cooled brownies, spreading the icing on thick. Refrigerate until the icing is firm, and then slice the brownies into squares.

Tips:

  • For the cheesecake layer: Use full-fat cream cheese for a smooth and creamy texture. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before beating it to make it easier to mix.
  • For the brownie layer: Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor. Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough brownies.
  • For the mint layer: Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. Chop the leaves finely before adding them to the cheesecake batter.
  • To make the ganache: Use semisweet chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor. Heat the cream and chocolate together slowly, stirring constantly, to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • For assembly: Allow the brownies to cool completely before topping them with the cheesecake layer. Chill the brownies for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set.

Conclusion:

Mocha mint cheesecake brownies are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy cheesecake filling, and refreshing mint ganache, these brownies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
