Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt 230g of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Pour it over 100g of dark or semi-sweet chocolate and 50g of cocoa powder in a mixing bowl, stirring until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs with 150g of granulated sugar and 100g of brown sugar until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the cooled chocolate mixture, then fold in 100g of all-purpose flour until just incorporated.
- Pour the brownie batter into the baking pan and bake for 28-30 minutes. Let them cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 250g of cold mascarpone cheese with 200g of heavy whipping cream and 50g of powdered sugar until light and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine 2 teaspoons of espresso powder with 150g of hot water. Briefly soak the ladyfingers in the espresso mixture, then layer them on top of the cooled brownie base.
- Spread the mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers and smooth it out.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes
Allowing the brownies to chill for an hour helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
