Baking pan
Parchment paper
- 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
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.
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.
