Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9" or 9x13" Baker's Edge pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup of butter and 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
4
In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the mascarpone cheese, 6 tablespoons of softened butter, and sugar until the mixture is light and smooth.
5
Add the eggs to the mascarpone mixture one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl thoroughly after each addition to ensure even mixing.
6
Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
7
Once the melted chocolate mixture has cooled slightly, pour it into the mascarpone batter and mix just until combined.
8
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
9
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (checking at 25 minutes is recommended to prevent overbaking).
10
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
11
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the honey chocolate drizzle: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
12
Remove from heat, add the chopped bittersweet and unsweetened chocolates, and let sit for a minute to melt. Stir until completely combined, then add the honey and mix well.
13
Serve the brownies warm, drizzled generously with the honey chocolate sauce for a delightful finish.
