Mocha Mousse Brownies

Chewy, fudgy brownies are topped with a whipped coffee mousse and finished with a shiny chocolate glaze to make a three-layered mocha mousse brownie.

I didn’t think my brownies could get any better until now. The base of these Brownies is based off of my Best Brownie Recipe. They are soft and chewy on the outside and firm around the edges.

The brownies are layered with a coffee infused cream then topped with a chocolate ganache. These Mocha Creme Brownies are super rich and decadent.

I added granulated coffee powder to the brownies to bring out the cocoa flavor. I also browned the butter which adds so much flavor to these brownies!

The mocha cream and ganache layers are super easy to make. The mocha cream layer is a simple buttercream frosting infused with instant coffee granules.

For the ganache I melt chocolate and heavy cream until smooth and spread it on top of the brownies and mocha cream.

I let the brownies set in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving.

  6. Fold in the flour and stir until combined. (Do not over mix)
  7. 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.

  9. Once cool spread the brownies with the coffee cream.
