Ingredients:
- 1 brownie mix

- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered instant coffee
- 1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Sugar to taste
- Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls for garnish
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round layer pans.
-
Prepare Brownie Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dry brownie mix, water, and eggs.
- Stir in the brown sugar and powdered instant coffee until well blended.
- Optionally, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
-
Baking:
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Don’t be alarmed if the batter seems sparse; this is normal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and check for doneness around the 15-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, allow the brownie layers to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Whip the Cream:
- While the brownie layers are cooling, prepare the whipped cream.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
- Gradually add sugar to sweeten, and powdered instant coffee to infuse a delightful mocha flavor.
- Continue beating until the whipped cream forms stiff peaks.
-
Assembly:
- Once the brownie layers are completely cooled, it’s time to assemble the torte.
- Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over one of the brownie layers.
- Carefully place the second brownie layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the torte with the remaining whipped cream mixture, creating a smooth and luscious finish.
-
Garnish:
- For the final touch, sprinkle shaved chocolate or chocolate curls over the top of the torte.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Place the assembled torte in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
- This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the torte to set properly.
- Slice and serve this decadent Mocha Brownie Torte to delighted guests and watch as it disappears within moments!
Enjoy the heavenly combination of rich chocolate and indulgent mocha flavors in every bite of this delightful dessert! 🍫☕️
