    Instructions

    Brownie Layer

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 9 or 8 x 8 pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
      Add butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until light brown / caramel in color. 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep and eye on it so butter does not burn. It also helps to use a light colored saucepan for this.
    • Pour browned butter into a large bowl along with both sugars, cocoa powder, salt, instant coffee granules and baking powder. Stir until combined and allow to rest for 5 minutes or until the mixture has cooled down.
    • Stir in the eggs and vanilla and mix until batter has a nice sheen to it.
    • Fold in the flour and stir until combined. (Do not over mix)
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
      Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
    • Once cool spread the brownies with the coffee cream.
    • Top with the chocolate ganache.
    • Place the brownies in the fridge to set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Coffee Cream Layer

    • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream butter until light and fluffy.
    • Add in heavy cream, coffee granules and powdered sugar. Mix until combined and smoothed. Set aside until you are ready to assemble the brownies.

    Chocolate Ganache

    • In a small saucepan add the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and melted, set aside.
