Mascarpone Brownies

Ingredients:

brownie ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Mascarpone cheese
2 Tablespoons coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
pinch of kosher salt

Ganache ingredients:
6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 pan with buttered parchment paper, letting the sides overlap. Set aside.

In a saucepan on medium, melt the butter and chocolate chips, stirring until combined.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together the sugar and the melted butter/chocolate mixture. Add the mascapone, coffee, vanilla and eggs. Stir until smooth.

In a separate bowl whisk the flour, cocoa and salt. Carefully add it to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepped 8×8 pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick test comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.

While brownies are cooling, make the ganache. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, heavy cream and butter, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. The ganache should be glossy when ready.

Pour the ganache over the brownies in the pan and let set.

Using the parchment, lift the brownies out of the pan and cut to serve.

    Those look absolutely amazing!!! I’m afraid to make them because I could definitely eat every last one by myself, but I guess I’ll just have to take that risk!

  2. Jennifer says:

    I can’t wait to make these!

    Hey Jenn,

    These look amazing! Are these more cake-like brownies or are they more fudge-y? I like my brownies cakier. Can I alter the recipe to get this effect? Different amount of eggs?

    Thanks 🙂

    This brownies is an excellent way to keep my boy on the table or maybe keep coming back for more…

  5. Droooooooooooooooool.

    That is definitely going on the list of possible recipes to use for my wedding dessert buffet! I can’t wait to try them!

    In love your blog! I’m a techy engineer and I can’t bake…but I’m inspired from your blog.

    I just made these and it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I think I made the ganache too runny. I must have added too much of something.

    I’m glad that I recalled making my own double boiler.

    Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

    Jenn.

    I was so excited to try this recipe but for some reason my brownies came out flatter and more cakey than the picture! What are your tips for fudgy brownies that are dense and moist like your picture??

  8. justJENN says:

    @Margo Hm. Did you use an 8×8 pan?

  9. Kim says:

    The recipe refers to adding eggs but they are not listed in the brownie ingredients. How many eggs?

  10. justJENN says:

    @Kim
    Hm the eggs are there, it may not have listed the ingredients in the correct order. It looks to be fixed now.
