Coffee Cream Squares







These are a new version of the classic mocha squares that I used to make in my high school years :)

COFFEE CREAM SQUARES

Base:
2 eggs
170 g (2dl) sugar
200 g (3dl) white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
75 ml milk
150g peanut butter

Filling:
150 g melted milk chocolate
250 g mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons strong espresso coffee
120 g (2dl) icing sugar

+ sprinkles as you wish 

Preheat oven to 200 C. Prepare a medium oven tin covering it with a baking paper and spread some butter on it.
Whisk in a large bowl eggs and sugar. Mix all the dry ingredients together and add them in the first bowl together with milk and softened peanut butter.
Pour the dough on the oven tin and even the surface with a spatula. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes. Let cool.



Prepare the topping. In a medium bowl mix together melted chocolate with mascarpone cheese and coffee, then add icing sugar little by little. 
Remove carefully the base from the baking paper turning it upside down on a clean surface. Spread the mascarpone mix on the cake evenly. 
Cut into squares, decorate with sprinkles and serve.
