Preheat a panini press or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mascarpone cheese evenly onto one side of each slice of brioche bread.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate chips and a few slices of strawberries onto two of the bread slices with mascarpone, ensuring even coverage.
Top with the remaining two slices of bread (mascarpone side facing inward) to form two sandwiches.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside of each sandwich, ensuring it is evenly coated for a golden and crispy finish.
Place the sandwiches on the heated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down gently with a spatula or place a heavy pan on top.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the chocolate has melted.
Remove from heat and let the paninis cool slightly for a minute or two.
Dust the top of each panini with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Slice each panini in half and serve warm. Enjoy your sweet dessert panini!
