CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE BROWNIES



Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies image

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!

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter
3 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
3 large eggs, at room-temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
6 tablespoons whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE BROWNIES



Chocolate Mascarpone Brownies image

Totally decadent brownie recipe!

Provided by RecipeGirl.com

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, (chopped)
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, (at room temperature)
3 large eggs, (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, (chopped)
6 tablespoons whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (cut into pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter an 8-inch square pyrex pan.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl; set aside. In a small glass bowl, melt the butter in a microwave, just until melted- don't let it cook and bubble (if no microwave, melt quickly on the stove instead). Pour the butter over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the butter is well incorporated. Sift in the sugar and cocoa powder.
  • With a wooden spoon, beat in the mascarpone, eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in the flour and salt.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let the brownies cool 10 to 15 minutes while you make the ganache.
  • Place the 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 and let stand for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Pour the ganache over the brownies while still warm, and spread to cover evenly.
  • Let the 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.

Creamy Mascarpone Frosting image

Mascarpone, a triple-cream cheese available at most grocery stores, adds a rich, silky component to a frosting. The texture is ideal for holding swoops and creating a snowdrift-like effect when slathered on with an offset spatula.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 6 cups (enough for one 8-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces mascarpone cheese
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Tips for Making the Best Mascarpone Brownies

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a good quality mascarpone cheese for the frosting. A low-fat mascarpone will not yield the same results.
  • Beat the mascarpone cheese and butter until light and fluffy. This will help the frosting incorporate air and become smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually, beating until the frosting is thick and creamy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Refrigerate the brownies for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the frosting set and the brownies firm up.

Conclusion

These mascarpone brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are rich, chocolatey, and have a creamy mascarpone frosting that takes them over the top. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, these brownies are sure to do the trick.
