MOCHA BROWNIE DESSERT

1 large box (for a 9x13x2 inch pan) brownie mix
1/4 c. water
2 eggs
1/2 c. walnuts, finely chopped 
1 1/2 c. whipping cream
1/3 c. firmly-packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp. powdered instant coffee
1 chocolate bar for shaving*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour two round 9-inch layer pans. In a large bowl, blend the brownie mix, water, and eggs. Stir in nuts if desired. Spread evenly in pans.

Bake 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pans, then remove to wire racks to cool thoroughly.

In a large chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the sugar and coffee, and continue beating until stiff.

Spread about 1 cup of the whipping cream mix on one brownie layer. Top with the second layer, and frost entirely with the remaining whipping cream mix. Sprinkle with the shaved chocolate. 

Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Keep leftovers refrigerated.

*Freeze the chocolate bar, and use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate. If you aren't so inspired to do this, place the frozen bar between two layers of wax paper and crush with a rolling pin. It won't look the same, but will taste just as good.
