INSTRUCTIONS
For sauce: Bring cream and espresso beans to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Cover, remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes. Strain into heavy small saucepan. Add chocolate; stir over low heat until smooth. Add nutmeg. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Before using, stir over low heat just until melted.) For Brownies: Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350F. Line 9-inch square baking pan with 2-inch-high sides with foil, overlapping sides. Butter and flour foil. Stir first 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups sugar and eggs. Stir in flour, then chopped bittersweet chocolate and nuts. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool on rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead.) Using foil sides as aid, lift brownie from pan. Fold down foil sides. Using 3 1/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 rounds (reserve scraps for another use). Place 1 brownie on each plate. Cover with chocolate curls. Spoon warm sauce around brownies. Sift sugar over. Serves 4. Bon Appetit February 1994 Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
