Instructions
Make the espresso brownie: Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and line an 8×8 inch baking pan. Melt butter, add chocolate and espresso powder. Mix with sugar, then add eggs, vanilla, oil, cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Bake for 27-32 minutes.
Make the lady finger layer: Mix boiling water, espresso powder, and sugar. Dunk lady fingers in coffee and place on cooled brownie.
Make the mascarpone cream topping: Whip mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Slowly add heavy cream, then whip until thick. Spread on top of the brownie and chill for at least 1 hour. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
* If you can’t find mascarpone, full-fat cream cheese can be used as a substitute. Adjust sugar to taste.
