This is one of those awesome desserts that you can have just a bite of and feel satisfied. With an intensely dark chocolate flavor, they are practically fudge-like in consistency. So rich, so creamy, so GOOD!

How To Make chocolate mascarpone brownies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prep 8-inch glass cake pan.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter, bring it to just below a boil, pour the hot butter over the chocolate and let stand for about 30 seconds,then stir till the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 3

Sift in the sugar and the cocoa powder.
Step 4

With a wooden spoon, beat in the mascarpone, eggs and vanilla, mix till smooth.
Step 5

Gently fold the flour and salt into the batter.
Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Step 7

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, do a toothpick test and if it comes out clean then it's done.
Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven onto a wire rack to cool.
Step 9

Place chocolate in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and butter to just below a boil over medium heat.
Step 10

Pour the hot cream-butter mixture over the chocolate, let stand for 30 seconds, then stir till smooth.

Ganache is now ready to spread over the brownies.
