6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
3 eggs
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
A beautiful dessert that people will think you slaved over (but you didn't). Rich and chocolate-y enough to satisfy even the most demanding chocolate lover.
This is a great recipe, except that the predominant taste is of bitter, not sweet, chocolate. Everyone enjoyed eating it, but they all mentioned that it might be better next time with a little more sugar:)

This was so good. We practically ate the whole pan in one setting.
This recipe is amazing! My discriminating husband absolutely loved it. I did add about 1/4 cup of sugar to the chocolate and coffee portion of the mousse recipe, just to sweeten it up a bit, although it probably would not have been necessary. Impressive and delicious!
The brownies are exactly right for me as I am partial to very dark chocolate. The only problem I had was with the cooking time. Mine took a lot longer than the stated time-- 28 minutes!
I don't know what I did to this recipe but the chocolate seized up on me, the mousse was flat as a pancake, and I couldn't even finish it.
super rich and sinfully good
This is a wonderful base recipe! I love how it uses the coffee to give the chocolate a fuller rich flavor. (I often do that is my chocolate dishes even if the recipe does not call for it! ) For those of you that prefer a sweeter mousse try using the chocolate cream pudding recipe from this site and whip it together with homemade whipped cream (add a little cooled coffee to the cream when you whip it for a richer flavor).
