Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 1 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 150 g dark chocolate; 125 g butter; 200 g caster sugar; 3 eggs; 80 g plain flour; 150 g mascarpone; 2 tsp instant espresso powder

Chocolate brownies marbled with coffee-flavoured mascarpone.

Ingredients

150 g dark chocolate
125 g butter
200 g caster sugar
3 eggs
80 g plain flour
150 g mascarpone
2 tsp instant espresso powder

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C, 160°C fan. Line a 20 cm square tin.
Melt the chocolate and butter together, then cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in 175 g sugar and two eggs, then fold in the flour.
Mix the mascarpone with the remaining egg and sugar. Dissolve the espresso powder in 1 tsp hot water and stir into the mascarpone.
Spread the brownie mixture in the tin. Spoon over the mascarpone mixture and swirl lightly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre is softly firm. Cool for 40 minutes before cutting.

Use only a few swirls to keep the two mixtures visibly distinct.
