Equipment

  • Heatproof bowl
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp fresh espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup high-quality cocoa powder
  • pinch salt
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt together the butter and chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool.
  • Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, followed by the eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla extract.
  • Stir in the espresso or strong coffee.
  • Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until no dry streaks remain.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
  • Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack in the pan.
  • For the topping, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  • Spread the mascarpone topping evenly over the cooled brownies and dust liberally with cocoa powder.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight before slicing.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor, especially for the mascarpone and cocoa powder. These brownies keep well in the fridge for 4-5 days, and chilling enhances their fudginess.
