Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces dark chocolate
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon espresso powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 6 pieces ladyfinger cookies
• 0.25 cup brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread half of this mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.

Step 8

Dip the ladyfinger cookies quickly into the brewed coffee, ensuring they are lightly soaked but not soggy, and layer them over the mascarpone filling.

Step 9

Spread the remaining brownie batter over the ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Step 10

Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the mascarpone and brownie batter for a marbled effect.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 12

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then transfer them to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 13

Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder before slicing into squares and serving.
