This looks like a piece of fudge, but it’s not. It’s a mascarpone brownie. Yum, huh? A new excuse to seek out mascarpone cheese.
I took the picture this morning with some natural light. Natural light does a lot for a brownie.
This is the brownie I saved for myself. I sent the rest to my husband’s office and am guessing a few people had mascarpone brownies for breakfast.
Also, the mascarpone was more pronounced the second day. That is, I could actually taste it….and it was good. So if you make these, make them a day ahead.

The only drawback to these brownies is they get rather soft out of the refrigerator. It’s not a problem if you plan on laying them out on a platter at home. However, if you pack them or try to carry them somewhere, lay them flat.

September 11, 2007 at 6:16 amAnna that brownie looks amazing! It looks similar to Barefoot Contessa’s brownies in texture- os that right?
I love the new look- very crisp and clean and easy to navigate.

It’s actually the same one from yesterday — the brownie from Recipezaar. I added another link to the recipe to make it less confusing. It’s a good recipe!
