Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
- 1 cup (226g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch (23x23cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated and brown sugar until glossy and well combined.
- Whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
- Pour in the cooled espresso or coffee. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and smooth out the top.
- In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and coffee liqueur (if using) until fluffy and thick.
- Dollop mascarpone mixture over brownie batter. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 35-38 minutes or until the center is just set. Don’t overbake for fudgy brownies.
- Cool completely, then dust with cocoa powder. Slice and serve!
Notes
For best results, use real mascarpone cheese and strong espresso. You can substitute instant espresso powder dissolved in water for brewed espresso. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for clean edges. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
