Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Brownies

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a saucepan, melt the *dark chocolate* and *butter* together over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing in the *sugar* and *eggs* until combined.

Next, add the *flour*, *chopped walnuts*, and *vanilla extract*, folding gently until just combined.

Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 2

Make the Meringue

While the brownies are baking, prepare the *meringue* by beating the *egg whites* in a clean bowl until foamy.

Gradually add in the *sugar*, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Fold in the *finely chopped nuts* gently.

Spread the meringue over the baked brownies and return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 3

Prepare the Ganache

In a small saucepan, heat the *heavy cream* until simmering, then pour it over the *milk chocolate* in a bowl.

Let it sit for a minute before whisking until smooth.

Stir in the *brewed coffee* and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Make the Latte Mousse

In a medium bowl, combine the *whipped cream*, *cream cheese*, *instant coffee*, and *sugar*.

Beat together until you achieve a light and fluffy texture.

Spread this mousse over the cooled brownies, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 5

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting

In a separate bowl, mix the *cream cheese*, *powdered sugar*, and *soft butter* until creamy and smooth.

Spread this frosting over the mousse layer, creating an even surface.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.

Servings

Imagine the scene: it's a sunny afternoon, and you're hosting a small get-together. Your Coffee-Nut Latte Brownies are the centerpiece of your dessert table. Serve them warm, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream on the side. The melted chocolate paired with the creamy ice cream is a match made in heaven! 🍦

For that extra touch, you can sprinkle a few crushed nuts or chocolate shavings on top, adding a lovely texture and a pop of flavor. And don't forget to brew a pot of rich aromatic coffee to pair with your brownies, making for a truly indulgent experience! ☕️

Variations

If you’re looking to cater to different dietary preferences, we’ve got you covered! Make it gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Your brownies will turn out just as delicious! 🌾

For a vegan twist, replace eggs with flaxseed meal soaked in water and use dairy-free chocolate. Coconut cream can be a great alternative for the creamy topping, keeping all the flavors intact while being completely plant-based! 🌱

Faq

What if my brownies turn out too dry?
If your brownies are dry, it could mean they were overbaked. Make sure to check them a few minutes before the recommended baking time. They should still be a bit soft in the center when you pull them out!
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the fridge or freeze them!
How can I make my brownies fudgier?
To achieve a fudgier texture, try adding an extra egg or increasing the amount of butter in your recipe. You can also underbake them slightly!
Can I add different flavors to the ganache?
Absolutely! You can infuse the ganache with different extracts like vanilla or almond, or even add a hint of espresso for an extra kick. Get creative!
What types of nuts work best in this recipe?
Walnuts and pecans complement the coffee and chocolate flavor beautifully. You can also experiment with hazelnuts for a delicious twist!
Is it okay to double the recipe?
Yes! Just ensure you use a larger baking dish and adjust the baking time accordingly. Keep an eye on them as they bake!
