# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Brownie Mix

01 - 60 ml brewed strong coffee
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 box (9×13-inch size) chocolate fudge brownie mix
04 - 90 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
05 - 60 ml vegetable oil
06 - 120 ml sour cream

09 - Pinch of salt
10 - 250 g powdered sugar

→ Ganache Topping

11 - 175 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 - 60 ml heavy cream

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Heat your oven to 175°C. Grease or put parchment paper in a 33×23 cm pan.
02 - Mix eggs, oil, sour cream, coffee, and brownie mix in a big bowl till just mixed. Stir in chocolate bits. Spread the mix evenly in the pan.
03 - Put the pan in the oven for 28-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—should come out with a few crumbs. Let it cool down fully.
04 - Beat butter with a mixer till light. Pour in the cold coffee. Slowly add powdered sugar and a pinch of salt while mixing until smooth.
05 - Once brownies are cool, spread the coffee frosting over them. Cool in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
06 - Melt chocolate chips and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Do 20 seconds at a time, stirring well each time till shiny and smooth. Let it cool a bit.
07 - Pour ganache over frosted brownies. Spread evenly and put back in the fridge for half an hour or until set.
08 - Cut into squares. To get clean cuts, wipe the knife with a cloth between slices.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Make sure brownies cool down all the way before you frost; otherwise the frosting might melt.
