Chocolate mascarpone brownies, covered in ganache. :)
I’ve been dying to use this recipe for months now. The concept of using mascarpone cheese in a brownie recipe just sounded so fascinating (and delicious) to me. But, to be honest, I always get super nervous whenever I plan to make brownies, because just about every attempt I’ve made at baking brownies from scratch has resulted in utter disaster. I finally gathered the courage (and ingredients) to try out this recipe today, though — and I’m so glad!
This recipe is absolutely AMAZING. If you’re looking for a recipe for a rich, moist, decadent, ridiculously-chocolatey brownie, this recipe is definitely for you. The brownie base itself is delicious, but topping it off with chocolate ganache just pushed it over the top for me. I decided to coat the bottoms of the brownies with powdered sugar, and the texture of the powdered sugar complemented the textures of the brownie and ganache perfectly.
I wish I could’ve taken better pictures of the brownies. These definitely don’t do them any justice. Oh well.
After tasting these brownies, I think I might start living by my sister’s motto:
“Life’s better dipped in ganache.” :)
