Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)

Mascarpone Topping

  • 1 cup (240g) mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional cocoa powder or powdered sugar for dusting
  • Grated dark chocolate
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Coffee beans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. Melt the butter and combine it with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and espresso. Sift together the cocoa powder and flour, then gently fold them into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  2. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to maintain a fudgy texture. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Mascarpone Topping: While the brownies cool, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, forming a luscious topping.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cooled brownies. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder or powdered sugar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the topping to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use fresh brewed espresso for the best coffee flavor.
  • Mix the batter only until ingredients are combined to avoid dense brownies.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before spreading mascarpone to prevent melting.
  • Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours for optimal texture and flavor blending.
  • Use high-quality mascarpone cheese for richer creaminess.
