Make the sauce:

1.Bring cream and Café Godiva Special Roast to simmer
in heavy small saucepan. Add chocolate; stir over low
heat until smooth and mixture begins to thicken. Add
nutmeg. (Can be made one day ahead. Cover and chill.
Before serving stir over low heat just until melted.)

Make the brownies:

1.Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and
preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square baking
pan with 2-inch-high sides with foil, overlapping the
sides. Butter and flour the foil. 2.Stir the first
four ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan over low
heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups
sugar and the eggs. Stir in flour, then chopped
bittersweet chocolate and nuts. Transfer to prepared
pan. 3.Bake until a tester inserted into the center
comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30
minutes. Cool on rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead.)

Assemble the servings:

1.Using the foil sides as an aid, lift the brownie
from the pan. Fold down the foil sides. Using a 3 3/4
inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 rounds, preserving
the scraps for another use. 2.Place one brownie on
each plate. Cover with chocolate curls. Spoon the warm
sauce around the brownies. Sift sugar over each
serving.
