Espresso Brownies With Mocha Ganache Recipes

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat cream, butter, sugar, espresso powder, salt, and vanilla over medium heat. Pour over chocolate, and let stand until chocolate is partially melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Let stand until thickened and the consistency of frosting, about 1 hour.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, dissolve the remaining 2 teaspoons of espresso powder in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water in a medium bowl. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar and butter and whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the brownies. Refrigerate until the glaze is set. Cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange the brownies on a platter and serve.
