CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE BROWNIES
These are, in a word, sublime. This is not a recipe to cut back on the quality of the ingredients; since you're going to be buying mascarpone cheese anyway (which isn't cheap), go for the gold and buy high-quality chocolate too. I like using the Lindt dark chocolate in this. Thanks to the Cookworks Show on Food Network Canada, where I saw this recipe being prepared and immediately knew it was a winner. After baking one batch, I knew I had gone to Brownie Heaven!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F; have ready a buttered 8-inch square glass cake pan.
- First, prepare the brownies.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and bring it to just below a boil; have the chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl--pour the hot butter over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds.
- Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
- Sift in the sugar and cocoa powder (I do this through a sieve, not with a sifter).
- With a wooden spoon, beat in the mascarpone, eggs (30 minutes on the counter brings them to room temperature) and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Gently fold the flour and salt into the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly--this is important since, if the batter isn't spread evenly, it won't bake evenly.
- Place into preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean (45 minutes did it for me).
- Place pan on a cooling rack and let brownies cool for 10-15 minutes, while you now make the ganache.
- Place chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl; in a small saucepan, bring the cream and the butter to just below the boiling point, over medium heat.
- Pour this hot cream-butter mixture over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth; ganache is now ready to use and can be spread over the brownies.
- Should you wish to wait a bit, make sure the ganache is warm when you spread over the brownies, as it does firm up which makes spreading hard to do.
- Don't cut into the brownies until ganache has firmed up; I find it best to put the brownies into the fridge to speed this along; once the ganache is firm the brownies do not need to be kept in the fridge, though.

MASCARPONE BROWNIES
This brownie recipe redefined what the word "brownie" meant for me. The mascarpone keeps the brownie intensely moist without the need to present undercooked goo as a finished product. This allows the chocolate flavors to develop fully as they cook, and boy is there some intense chocolate flavor in this, especially if you use higher-quality chocolate ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F and grease an 8x8 baking pan.
- In a double boiler melt butter and chocolate, stirring frequently.
- When chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined, add sugar and stir until mixture is shiny. It will still look a bit grainy.
- Remove from heat and add marscapone, vanilla, and eggs, mixing until smooth.
- Sift flour, salt and cocoa into mixture with a sieve and stir just until combined, making sure to scrape all sides of the bowl. (Mixture will be rather light in texture, instead of dense and heavy like many brownie batters).
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top to ensure even baking.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until tester comes out clean.
- Use the flat end of a potato masher to lightly tamp down the surface of the brownies while they are still warm. Do not squish! Merely flatten any parts that might have raised more than others (typically the edges). This will help the ganache coat evenly. Leave in pan and set on wire rack to cool.
- About 5 minutes before your brownies are done, start making your ganache to pour over the top (which you will want to do while your brownies are still warm). In a double boiler heat butter, cream, and chocolate until melted, stirring frequently.
- Once brownies have been tamped flat and your ganache is smooth, immediately pour ganache over brownies. Let cool completely in refrigerator.
- Once chilled, turn the brownies out of the pan onto a cutting board, and slice into desired number or pieces (4 cuts in each direction will yield 25 pieces approximately 1.5"x1.5" in size). Dusting the knife with cocoa powder may help keep it clean if this becomes problematic.

- Preheat the oven to 325°. Cut two large strips of parchment to fit into an 8-inch square glass pan, allowing enough to overhang the pan and provide “handles” for you to remove the brownies. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and butter. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each heating, until the butter and chocolate have just melted. It should take about 1 minute.
- Sift the sugar and cocoa powder together into a large bowl. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Add the mascarpone, eggs, espresso powder and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, and gently fold to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes and remove using the parchment handles onto a cutting board. Allow to cool completely. I know it’s tempting to eat warm brownies, but these are so moist that they really need to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, combine the cream and mascarpone cheeses and butter in a mixing bowl and beat to combine. Mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla extract and mix one more time to thoroughly combine. Add more powdered sugar, if desired, to reach your preferred sweetness and consistency. Spread on the cooled brownies and cut into small squares to serve.
