Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Truffle Filling

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/3 cup seedless red raspberry jam

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/8 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon shortening

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter and 1 1/4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for about 15 minutes.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar until combined. Dissolve the instant coffee crystals in the water, then add this coffee mixture along with the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually stir this into the chocolate mixture until just blended.
  4. Bake Brownie Base: Pour the batter evenly into a greased 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  5. Melt Chocolate for Filling: In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 30 minutes to prevent overheating the filling.
  6. Prepare Truffle Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar and raspberry jam, then beat until just combined. Stir in the cooled melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  7. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the truffle filling over the completely cooled brownie base, creating a thick, smooth layer.
  8. Melt Chocolate Drizzle: Place 1/8 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon shortening into a small zip-top plastic bag. Seal and set the bag in a bowl of warm water to gently soften the chocolate. Knead the bag gently with your fingers until the chocolate is melted and smooth, reheating in warm water as needed.
  9. Drizzle Chocolate: Snip a very small hole in one corner of the plastic bag and carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the truffle filling to create a decorative pattern.
  10. Chill Brownies: Refrigerate the brownies to allow the filling and drizzle to set fully, ensuring easy cutting and clean slices.
  11. Cut and Serve: Cut the chilled brownies into small 1-inch squares for serving. Due to their richness, a small square is satisfying.
  12. Storage: Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted chocolates are cooled before mixing into the batter or filling to prevent curdling or scrambling the eggs or cream cheese.
  • If you do not have instant coffee crystals, you can substitute with strong brewed espresso or omit for a milder chocolate flavor.
  • Use seedless raspberry jam for a smooth filling without seeds that might interfere with texture.
  • Shortening helps achieve a smooth drizzle; you can substitute with coconut oil if preferred.
  • These brownies are rich and dense, so cut into small portions for the best enjoyment.
  • Allow brownies to chill thoroughly before cutting to avoid messy slices.
