1/4 cup coffee liqueur
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream

Recipe
Prepare brownie batter according to directions on box. Pour into a greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan. Bake according to instructions. When cool, cut into squares and remove from pan. Clean pan and grease again.
Place brownies back in greased pan. For the filling: Combine chocolate and coffee in top of a double boiler, and melt over boiling water. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks and stir in small amount of chocolate mixture; stir. Add tempered egg yolks to the rest of the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in liqueur and cool.
Beat egg whites until foamy; gradually add sugar and beat until stiff. Whip cream until stiff. Fold cream into chocolate mixture; fold in egg whites. Pour filling over brownies. Cover and chill 3 to 4 hours, until firm. For the glaze: Combine chocolate and coffee in double boiler. Heat until melted; stir. Invert brownies onto serving platter and drizzle on glaze. Let set and decorate with chocolate curls, if desired.
Note: This recipe calls for uncooked egg whites. To avoid the risk of salmonella, you may use pasteurized whites, available at natural foods stores.
