Ingredients

  • For the Brownies:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • For the Coffee Frosting:
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • For the Chocolate Topping:
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the pan – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil and lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
  • Make the brownie batter – In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cocoa powder until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, espresso powder, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate butter mixture, then gently mix in the salt, baking powder, and flour until just combined.
  • Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
  • Prepare the frosting – In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream and instant coffee until dissolved. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and salt until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and coffee mixture, beating until light and fluffy. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Make the chocolate topping – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. If needed, heat for an additional 15 seconds.
  • Finish and serve – Spread the melted chocolate over the frosting, then let it set before slicing into 16 delicious squares. Enjoy!
