Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (10g) instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • Optional: Shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while beating until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks.
  6. Spread the mocha cream evenly over the cooled brownies using an offset spatula for smoothness. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the cream layer.
  7. Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder on top for an elegant finish.

Notes

Chill the brownies for about 30 minutes before slicing for clean layers. Use high-quality espresso powder for the best mocha flavor. Adjust sweetness by reducing powdered sugar in the cream layer if desired.
