Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 4 oz (115g) dark chocolate
  • 1 shot (30 ml) espresso or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mascarpone Layer

  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Garnish (Optional)

  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Finely grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings
  • Chopped toasted hazelnuts or almonds
  • Whole coffee beans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Melt the butter and dark chocolate together gently until smooth. Stir in freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee to infuse rich coffee flavor. Whisk in granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is glossy. Carefully fold in cocoa powder and all-purpose flour, ensuring a fudgy batter without overmixing.
  2. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a lined baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring a fudgy texture.
  3. Prepare the Mascarpone Layer: Beat mascarpone cheese gently with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will replicate the indulgent tiramisu filling.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Once brownies have cooled completely, spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mascarpone to set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and optionally sprinkle with grated chocolate, chopped nuts, or coffee beans for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate to elevate flavor.
  • Do not overbake; remove brownies when a few moist crumbs remain on a toothpick.
  • Freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee gives the best aroma and taste.
  • Bring eggs and mascarpone to room temperature before mixing for smooth texture.
  • Chill brownies for at least 2 hours to set the mascarpone layer properly.
