Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 95 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Chocolate chunks or chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, stirring until well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract and mascarpone cheese until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix). If using, fold in the optional chocolate chunks or chips at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into 9 squares and enjoy!
