Instructions
Prepare baking pans. This recipe fills a 9" x 13" baking pan.
Line the bottom of the pan with parchment to help remove the brownie in one piece. Use enough paper so it hangs over two sides of the pan. You do not need to grease the pan.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
BROWNIE LAYER
Melt chocolate and butter together in a small pan over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
In a small cup combine instant coffee granules and boiling water. Stir until smooth.
Add coffee, sugar and vanilla to chocolate mixture and stir.
Using a stand mixer add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
Add flour and salt. Stir until combined then pour into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 32-35 minutes.
Cool completely on a cooling rack. Refrigerate or freeze if not continuing the recipe at this point.
Cream Cheese Layer
Using an electric mixer cream together cream cheese and butter.
On low speed add the icing sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
Spread evenly over the baked brownie base. Chill until cream cheese layer is firm, about an hour.
Chocolate Glaze
Melt chocolate and butter together in a small pan over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
In a small cup combine instant coffee granules and boiling water. Stir until smooth.
Add the coffee and whipping cream to the chocolate and stir until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cream cheese layer in big wide ribbons covering as much of the top as possible. Tilt the pan in all directions so the chocolate glaze covers right to the edges. Refrigerate until set. Preferably overnight.
Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang. Peel away paper and cut brownies using a hot knife. Be sure to wipe the knife after each cut.
Notes
I sometime use my 8 x 8-inch baking pan plus a few smaller pans.
