Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Brew strong coffee, allowing 8 ounces to simmer down to 2 tablespoons of concentrated coffee. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9x9-inch pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Melt semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cooled chocolate-butter mixture. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually mix in concentrated coffee, then fold in flour and salt until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  6. Allow brownies to cool in the pan. Meanwhile, prepare mocha frosting by melting baking chocolate and butter, then combining with powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies.
