Fudgy Cookies-and-Cream Brownies with Espresso and Flaky Salt

This is the pan you bring to a party so people remember you. Melted dark chocolate does the heavy lifting alongside the cocoa, giving a fudgy middle that cocoa alone can't, and a spoonful of espresso powder makes the chocolate taste darker than its sugar without tasting like coffee. On top, real cream whipped with mascarpone replaces the frozen tub, and flaky salt keeps every bite from going flat. Chocolate brings the depth, espresso the bitterness, the cookies the nostalgia, mascarpone the cool richness and salt the snap.
