Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and grease lightly.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, cocoa, coffee powder, and salt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in flour until just combined.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
For the sauce, heat cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, espresso, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
To assemble, place one brownie layer on a cake plate. Top with a layer of softened coffee ice cream, then drizzle with mocha fudge sauce. Repeat layering. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
Serve chilled with extra mocha sauce if desired.
