Fudgy Brownies with a Gooey Chocolate Topping (aka Chocolate Butter Brownies) - a square batch of brownies sits on a cutting board with one removed and on a plate to the side, with a spoon ready to eat.

Fudgy Brownies with a Gooey Chocolate Topping (aka Chocolate Butter Brownies)

These are definitely not a basic brownie. These brownies are comprised of a fudgy brownie base topped with a creamy mascarpone mixture that results in a combination that is gooey, fudgy, with a beautifully crisp crust!

Ingredients

  • 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 2 Medium Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 95 g Plain Flour
  • 30 g Cocoa Powder

For the Topping

  • 1 Medium Free Range Egg
  • 250 g Mascarpone/Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 300 g Icing Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a 8″ square baking tin with greaseproof paper. 
  • Melt the dark chocolate by breaking up into small pieces in a bowl and heating for 30 second intervals in a microwave, stirring in between. Set aside to cool whilst making the brownies.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer combine the melted butter, and both the brown and granulated sugars on a medium speed until totally combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again. Then check that the chocolate has cooled a little before adding in and combining. Add in the flour and cocoa powder and fold together. Pour into the tin.
  • Make the topping by combining all the ingredients with a whisk - ensure it is smooth! Pour over the top of the brownie batter and bake for about 40-45 minutes - until it is cracking and no longer wobbly (a small wobble in the middle is fine).
