Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8 inch pan with aluminum foil. Make sure to extend the foil beyond the two opposite ends of the pan. This will help in lifting brownies out of pan. Lightly butter bottom and sides of foil-lined pan.
- Cut butter into pieces and melt in a saucepan over low heat. Remove pan from heat, add 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 egg (make sure egg is at room temperature), and then vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until smooth. Spread dough evenly into pan.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a moist crumb. Do not overbake. Cool completely on wire rack.
- To Make Mousse: Melt 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate with the coffee in top of a double boiler over hot water. Stir often until smooth. Whisk in 3 egg yolks, one at a time. Remove from heat.
- In a chilled medium bowl, beat 3/4 cup heavy cream just until soft peaks form. In another medium bowl, beat 3 egg whites just until soft peaks begin to form. Stir 1/4 of these beaten egg whites into the chocolate/coffee mixture, then carefully fold in the rest
- Gently fold in the whipped cream. Spread chocolate mousse evenly over the top of the cooled brownie in the pan.
- To Make Topping: In a chilled medium sized bowl, beat 1/3 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Remove brownie from baking pan by grasping the overhanging foil. Cut into squares and transfer to serving dish. Place some whipped cream on top of each brownie and top with a chocolate espresso bean. Store in refrigerator.

[email protected]I love the idea of using bittersweet chocolate in brownies. It adds a really nice depth of flavor. I also like the addition of the mousse topping. It makes the brownies extra decadent.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and my brownies turned out perfectly. They were fudgy and chocolatey, with just the right amount of sweetness. The mousse topping was a nice touch, but I think it would be just as good without it.

[email protected]These brownies were a little too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use semisweet chocolate instead of bittersweet. The mousse topping was good, though.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, but these brownies were still really good. The mousse topping helped to balance out the bitterness of the chocolate. I would definitely make these again.
