Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Mascarpone Topping:

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coffee-Soaked Layer:

  • 6-8 ladyfingers
  • ½ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)

For the Topping:

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brownie Layer:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  • Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Prepare the Mascarpone Layer:

  • In a bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently spread the mascarpone mixture over the brownie batter.

Add the Coffee-Soaked Layer:

  • Briefly dip ladyfingers in espresso (and coffee liqueur, if using).
  • Place the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the mascarpone layer, pressing lightly to adhere.

Bake and Chill:

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 3–4 hours (or overnight).
  • Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Use a warm knife to slice the brownies for clean cuts. Wipe the knife clean between slices.
  • Storage:
    • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
    • Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months.
  • Customization: Add chocolate drizzle, peanut butter swirls, or gluten-free flour for variations.
