MASCARPONE BROWNIES

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.

CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE ESPRESSO VODKA BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter an 8-inch square pyrex pan. Place chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl; set aside.
• 2. In a small glass bowl, melt butter in microwave (take it out before it starts bubbling.) Pour butter over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Sift in sugar and cocoa powder.
• 3. With a wooden spoon, beat in mascarpone, eggs and vanilla, Espresso vodka and mixing until smooth. Gently fold in flour and salt. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Place into preheated oven and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
• 4. Place pan on cooling rack and let brownies cool 10 to 15 minutes while you make the ganache.
• 5. Place chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and butter to just below boiling point, over medium heat. Pour this hot mixture over the chocolate with the espresso vodka and let stand for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Pour ganache over brownies while still warm, and spread to cover evenly.
• 6. Let ganache firm up before cutting. It's best to refrigerate them until quite firm. Once the ganache is firm and the brownies have been cut, they do not need to be kept in the refrigerator.
