Amarena Brownies


Ingredients:
For the brownie:
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 150 g butter
  • 200 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 100 g flour
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt
For the mascarpone cream:
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 50 g powdered sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
 
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C . Line a suitable baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a water bath over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar to the warm chocolate mixture and stir well. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, a pinch of salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Gently mix with a spatula until the batter is homogeneous. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes – the center should remain slightly moist.
Once baked, let the brownie cool completely.
 
Mascarpone cream:
In a bowl, mix the mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until you get a smooth cream. Spread the cream over the cooled brownie and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Before serving, drizzle with Amarena cherry syrup and garnish with Amarena cherries on top.
