Ingredients
227 g salted butter
400 g dark chocolate (70 % cocoa), roughly chopped
60 g unsweetened cocoa powder
120 g flour
5 eggs
140 g brown sugar
200 g sugar
1 teaspoon salt (½ teaspoon for iodized salt)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp instant espresso powder
225 g mascarpone
240 ml whipped cream
50 g sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tbsp vanilla paste
1 tbsp instant espresso powder
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the espresso brownies: Melt the butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder and flour until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the chocolate mixture.
- Stir in the espresso powder. Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan and bake at 175 °C for about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the mascarpone espresso cream: Beat the mascarpone and whipped cream together until creamy and smooth. Fold in sugar, salt, vanilla paste, and espresso powder until fluffy.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the mascarpone espresso cream over the brownie layer and smooth it evenly.
- Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder, slice into pieces, and serve.
Notes
- You can swap dark chocolate for milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter base.
- Optional: Add finely chopped dark chocolate or coffee-flavored chocolate chips into the brownie mix for added texture.
- For a boozy twist, replace vanilla paste with coffee liqueur in the cream.
- For added texture, sprinkle toasted hazelnuts or chocolate shavings on top.
- These brownies should be refrigerated due to the mascarpone cream. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to soften the cream slightly.
