Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 6 oz Good Quality Dark Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (or almond/gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tbsp Espresso or Strong Brewed Coffee

Mascarpone Topping

  • 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup Whipped Cream (for extra airy texture)

Finishing Touch

  • Cocoa Powder for Dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth and glossy. Whisk in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  2. Add the Espresso Flavor: Stir in the espresso or strong brewed coffee to infuse the batter with authentic tiramisu coffee flavor.
  3. Bake the Brownie Layer: Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and spread evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownie to cool completely before proceeding.
  4. Prepare the Mascarpone Topping: Whip together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. For a lighter texture, gently fold in whipped cream if desired.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Spread the mascarpone topping evenly over the cooled brownie base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the topping set firmly.
  6. Final Touch: Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu look and add a slight bitterness to balance the sweetness.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for deeper flavor.
  • Carefully fold ingredients to keep brownies fudgy and tender.
  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding the mascarpone topping to prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Chill the assembled brownies well to allow flavors to meld and the topping to firm up.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso instead of instant coffee for the best tiramisu flavor.
