Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips the best quality you can find
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Blueberry Ganache:

  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp salted butter

Instructions

How to Make the Brownies:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 9 x 13-inch square pan and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and bring it to just below a boil.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl. Pour in the hot butter and let stand for 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted.
  • Sift in the sugar and cocoa powder. Beat in the mascarpone, eggs, and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Gently fold the flour and salt into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spread the warm ganache over the brownies. Allow the ganache to set completely before cutting into squares.

How to Make the Blueberry Chocolate Ganache:

  • Place the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Place the blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture becomes sauce like and bubbly. Pour into a sieve or strainer that is placed over a bowl to catch blueberry liquid. Discard remaining blueberries. Pour blueberry liquid over chocolate chips.
  • Bring the cream and butter to just below boiling point in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until smooth.
  • The ganache should be used for spreading while warm.
