Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 113 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 90 g all-purpose flour, sifted
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 shots espresso or instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder

Garnish

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Stir both brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add vanilla extract, then whisk in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next for a smooth batter.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and pinch of salt into the mixture, then gently fold or whisk until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  7. Soak with Espresso: Upon removing the brownies from the oven, immediately poke holes throughout the surface using a skewer or fork. Pour the two shots of espresso evenly over the brownies to infuse the coffee flavor. Set aside to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and heavy cream for about 30 seconds until combined.
  9. Add Espresso Powder and Sugar: Add espresso powder, sugar, and salt to the mascarpone mixture. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy cream.
  10. Assemble the Tiramisu Brownies: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled brownies, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  11. Dust and Serve: Using a fine sieve, dust cocoa powder evenly over the mascarpone layer. Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan by the parchment paper, peel it away, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth cream.
  • If you don’t have espresso shots, strong brewed coffee or instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water works well.
  • Do not overbake the brownies; they should remain fudgy for the best texture.
  • The brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered to maintain freshness.
  • For a more intense coffee flavor, brush additional espresso over the brownies before spreading the mascarpone cream.
