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
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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the final flavor of your ganache. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Use equal parts chocolate and cream: This is the classic ratio for ganache, and it will produce a smooth, creamy ganache with a rich chocolate flavor.
- Heat the cream until it is just simmering: Do not boil the cream, as this will cause the ganache to seize.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes: This will allow the chocolate to melt slowly and evenly.
- Stir the ganache until it is smooth and glossy: Use a whisk or spatula to stir the ganache until it is completely smooth and glossy. This will take about 2 minutes.
- Let the ganache cool before using it: The ganache will thicken as it cools. If you need to use it immediately, you can place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
Conclusion:
Ganache is a versatile and delicious topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect ganache that will impress your friends and family.
