• Prep Time: 25 min.
• Bake Time: 35 min.
• Decoration Time: 15 min.
• Difficulty: Easy
• Yield: Makes 16 slices.

• ¾ cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 box (22.5 oz.) brownie mix
• ⅓ cup whipped topping or cream
• 1 9-inch spring form pan
• Wax paper
• Small resealable plastic bag
• Large star tip

• 3 egg whites
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons instant espresso coffee
• 1 ½ tablespoons warm water
• ⅔ cup DOVE® Brand Dark Chocolate

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of the spring form pan with wax paper; grease.
• 2. Combine Graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• 3. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Spread the batter into prepared pan. Bake until firm, approximately 35-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely.
• 4. Meanwhile, prepare the mocha frosting: whisk egg whites and sugar together over simmering water until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat until cooled. Add the butter, one nugget at a time, while continuing to beat. Dissolve the instant espresso in warm water. Beat the espresso into the butter cream.
• 5. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the butter cream mixture. Snip a small corner of a resealable plastic bag and place the whipped cream inside. Pipe 8 rosettes around the outside edges of the cake. Place one piece of chocolate on top of each rosette.
• 6. When ready to serve, place remaining chocolate in a small resealable plastic bag. Microwave until melted, about 15 seconds. Cut a corner of the bag, and randomly drizzle chocolate on the dessert plates. Place a cake wedge on each plate and serve.
