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!

1/2 c cocoa powder
1/2 c mascarpone cheese, softened
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
GANACHE:
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
6 Tbsp whipping cream
3 Tbsp butter, unsalted

  • 3. Sift in the sugar and the cocoa powder.
  • 4. With a wooden spoon, beat in the mascarpone, eggs and vanilla, mix till smooth.
  • 5. Gently fold the flour and salt into the batter.
  • 6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • 7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, do a toothpick test and if it comes out clean then it's done.
  • 8. Remove the pan from the oven onto a wire rack to cool.
  • 9. Place chocolate in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and butter to just below a boil over medium heat.
  • 10. Pour the hot cream-butter mixture over the chocolate, let stand for 30 seconds, then stir till smooth.
  • 11. Ganache is now ready to spread over the brownies.
  • 12. Do not cut the brownies till the ganache is set. It's probably best to refrigerate the brownies first.
