How to Make Mascarpone Brownies With Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter with 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) softened unsalted butter, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting: Melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 ounces mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the mascarpone and beat until combined.
- Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. Add extra powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Frost the cooled brownies and enjoy!
