Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder or 1/4 cup brewed espresso
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso (for brushing)
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
  5. In a bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream gently.
  6. Brush or spoon brewed espresso evenly over cooled brownie base.
  7. Spread mascarpone cream over the top and smooth out.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
  9. Dust generously with cocoa powder before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Add coffee liqueur like Kahlúa to the mascarpone filling for an adult version.
  • Use white chocolate chunks in the brownie for a twist.
  • Top with chocolate curls or shavings for a fancy finish.
  • Substitute cream cheese for mascarpone in a pinch.
  • Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
