How to Make Cafe Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the melted butter and stir constantly until smooth and melted.
In a medium bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee in 2 tablespoons of warm water.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, and the coffee mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared pizza pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. The edges should be set.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into wedges.
Serve warm with your favorite ice cream and chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
