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:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Choose a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Use strong coffee: The coffee in these brownies adds a rich, deep flavor. Use a strong coffee, such as espresso or dark roast, for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies. Bake the brownies just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Chill the mousse before piping it onto the brownies: This will help to stabilize the mousse and make it easier to pipe.
