Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 113 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 90 g all-purpose flour, sifted
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 shots espresso or instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream Topping

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter: Place chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add sugars: Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, whisking each fully into the mixture to ensure a smooth batter.
  5. Mix dry ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt into the chocolate batter. Gently fold or whisk until just combined, careful not to overmix.
  6. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Espresso soak: Remove the brownies from the oven and while still warm, poke small holes all over the surface using a skewer or fork. Pour the two shots of espresso evenly over the brownie to soak in. Set aside to cool completely.
  8. Prepare mascarpone cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and heavy cream for about 30 seconds until smooth. Then add espresso powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form, giving the cream a light, fluffy texture.
  9. Assemble topping and dust: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled, espresso-soaked brownies using a spatula. Smooth the top, then dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
  10. Serve: Carefully lift the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper. Peel away the paper and cut the brownies into equal-sized squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the perfect dessert experience.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use freshly brewed espresso instead of instant coffee.
  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easier whisking and a smoother topping.
  • Do not overbake the brownies to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a more natural sweetener.
  • For a decorative touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans.
