Serves: 12

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

From: Fresh

Ingredients

Mashed Potato Topping

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/3 cup sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. salt

4 oz. mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (½ cup)

5 Tbs. unsalted butter or margarine

8-oz. bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch round tart pan with removable bottom and set aside.

Step 2

In small, heavy saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring often. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and vanilla on medium speed, 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar and beat 1 minute. Beat in chocolate mixture, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Reduce mixer speed to low. Beat in flour and salt until just blended. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.

Step 4

Place cheese in small bowl and stir well with fork. Drop by teaspoonfuls randomly over surface of batter in pan. Using a sharp knife, swirl cheese mixture into chocolate mixture to create marbled effect.

Step 5

Bake until just set in center, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool completely. Remove side of pan, cut into wedges and serve.
