  • 120 gram cream

Instructions
 

for the brownie layer

  • Line a baking tray (measuring 34cm x (13.5 inch) x 24 cm (9.5 inch)) with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine the chocolate, butter, espresso coffee, vanilla essence and sugar.
  • Place on top of a pot with simmering water making sure the bowl does not come in contact with the water inside the pot.
  • Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until all ingredients have melted and are well combined.
  • Remove the bowl and place on a kitchen towel or onto a cold surface (kitchen counter).
  • Add the eggs one by one and whisk well before adding the next egg.
  • Add the sifted flour and incorporate well into the chocolate mix with a spatula.
  • Add the walnuts and mix well.
  • Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes or until the surface looks cooked and feels firm.
  • Allow the brownie to cool completely.

for the cream cheese layer

  • In a mixing bowl add cream cheese and softened butter. Using a kitchen aid or hand mixer cream together until soft and fluffy.
  • Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence and mix for another minute or until well combined.
  • Check if the brownie layer has cooled enough and then only spread the cream cheese layer on the top. Cover the entire brownie layer and set aside to cool again.

for the chocolate glaze

  • In a small bowl combine the chocolate, butter, espresso coffee and cream. Place on a pot of simmering water. Again make sure the boiling water does not come in contact with the bowl directly.
  • Stir with a spatula until all ingredients have melted and are well combined.
  • Check if the cream cheese layer has set. If firm, pour the chocolate glaze over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly with a pastry spatula.
  • Keep the slab in the fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing into it. The chocolate should be set and firm.
