Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang and spray with cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate in 2-minute intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Add eggs, sugar, vanilla, coffee, espresso, and salt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk vigorously.
Stir in flour until just combined.
Pour half the batter into prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the pumpkin filling by whisking together cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
Remove brownies from oven and spread pumpkin filling evenly over the baked layer.
Spread remaining brownie batter over pumpkin layer. Bake for an additional 24-25 minutes.
Prepare ganache by melting chocolate chips with cream until smooth. Pour over cooled brownies.
Let brownies cool at room temperature then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before slicing.
Notes
For best flavor, chill brownies overnight before serving.
