Ingredients

For the Brownies:

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

8 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate bars (70% cacao), or 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (1 1/3 cups)

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Topping:

8 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

1 cup cold heavy cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

For Dusting:

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together. Mix the sugars into the chocolate mixture. Add eggs, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking powder, then bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is set but moist.
  2. Make the Topping: Beat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder. Continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
  3. Assemble the Brownies: Once the brownies are fully cooled, spread the mascarpone cream over them. Dust with cocoa powder for a final touch.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into 12-16 pieces and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Substitution: Use full-fat cream cheese if mascarpone is unavailable for a similar texture.
  • Storage: Keep brownies in the fridge for up to 4 days. They’re best served chilled.
  • Variations: Add orange zest, coffee liqueur, or nuts for extra flavor twists.
