Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 225 g
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar 250 g
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 75 g
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 125 g
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled

For the Mascarpone Layer

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature 225 g
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp coffee extract (optional) for extra coffee punch

For Dusting

  • Cocoa powder or grated chocolate for topping

Instructions
 

Preparation and Preheating

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Make the Brownie Base

  • In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
  • Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake 22–26 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Coffee Soak

  • While brownies cool slightly, stir cooled espresso and coffee extract together. After brownies are warm (not hot), poke small holes with a skewer and gently brush or drizzle the coffee mixture across the top so it absorbs evenly.

Mascarpone Layer

  • Beat mascarpone and powdered sugar until smooth and light. Spread gently over the cooled, coffee-soaked brownie layer.

Finish and Chill

  • Dust generously with cocoa powder or grate chocolate on top. Chill at least 2 hours (longer makes slicing cleaner). Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For a glossy finish, use a fine-mesh sieve to dust cocoa evenly. Use room-temperature ingredients for the best texture.
