Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt over simmering water or microwave in short bursts until smooth.
- Whisk in granulated sugar until fully combined with the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Add room temperature eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, flour, and espresso powder. Gently fold until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy, then spread over the cooled brownies.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes
For perfectly cut brownies, dip a knife in hot water and wipe clean between slices. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
