Chocolate Truffle Dessert

"From Simple & Delicious magazine. It looks delicious but fairly quick to prepare. Very elegant in appearance. Yes, it really does call for 3 tablespoons vanilla (there's even an editor's note confirming that)! The times don't include cooling and chilling times. Can be made the day before serving."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350* F. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions, using egg, water, and oil. Pour into a greased 9-inch round springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet, transfer to oven, and bake at 350* F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • Place chocolate chips in a food processer and process until finely chopped. In a small microwave safe bowl, combine 1 cup cream, butter, and coffee granules. Microwave until butter is melted, about 1-1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
  • With food processor running, add butter mixture to the chocolate in a steady, slow stream. Add vanilla and process until smooth.
  • Fill a pastry decorating bag with 1/4 cup chocolate mixture and set aside. Transfer remaining mixture to a large bowl.
  • Remove sides from springform pan. Spread top and sides of the brownie evenly with half of the chocolate mixture.
  • In a small bowl, beat remaining 1 cup cream until soft peaks form. Fold carefully into remaining chocolate mixture until evenly mixed. Spread over chocolate layer on brownie.
  • Gently press cookie pieces close together and vertically against sides of brownie.
  • Pipe reserved chocolate mixture into little rosettes around top.
  • Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from refrigerator 5 minutes before cutting. Refrigerate leftovers.
