Ingredients

BROWNIE BASE

  • cups chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter
  • cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in ½ tablespoon boiling water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup quinoa flour

CHEESECAKE TOPPING

  • 8oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoon quinoa flour

CHOCOLATE GLAZE/DRIZZLE (optional)

  • 6oz bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • tablespoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with foil.

BROWNIE BASE

  • In a small bowl melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and add the butter. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In another bowl whisk together the sugar, eggs, coffee and vanilla. Add melted chocolate mixture and stir.
  • Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir until combined. Pour into the prepared pan.

MOCHACCINO CHEESECAKE TOPPING

  • In an electric mixer beat the cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and egg until smooth.
  • Add the milk and flour beating until combined. Pour cheesecake mixture evenly over the brownie base.

BAKING

  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the middle springs back when gently touched in the center with a finger. Allow to cool while making the glaze.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE/DRIZZLE

  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a small pan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
  • In a small cup combine instant coffee granules with boiling water and stir to dissolve.
  • Add the coffee and whipping cream to the chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Drizzle about half the glaze over the cooked and cooled brownies in a diagonal pattern. Switch directions and drizzle the remaining glaze in a diagonal pattern the other way.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before cutting.
  • Remove brownie from the pan using the foil overhang. Peel away foil and cut brownies using a hot knife. Be sure to wipe the knife after each cut.

Notes

*Alternately you can skip the glaze/drizzle altogether and top each piece with a single chocolate-covered coffee bean.
