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 of espresso or instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Combine the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
  4. Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs: Add the vanilla extract, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour and salt, then gently fold or whisk them into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Add Espresso Flavor: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the surface using a skewer or fork. Pour the two shots of espresso evenly over the brownies. Set aside to cool completely.
  8. Make Mascarpone Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and heavy cream for about 30 seconds until combined. Add espresso powder, powdered sugar, and salt, then whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  9. Assemble Tiramisu Brownies: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled brownies, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  10. Final Touch: Dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve for a classic tiramisu finish.
  11. Serve: Carefully lift the brownies out of the tin using the parchment paper, peel it away, and cut the brownies into equal squares. Enjoy this luscious dessert fresh or chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth cream consistency.
  • Use good quality dark chocolate (around 60-70% cocoa) for a rich flavor.
  • Instant espresso powder works well if fresh espresso is not available.
  • Do not overbake the brownies to keep them fudgy and moist.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, avoid adding liquor; for adult tastes, a tablespoon of coffee liqueur can be added to the mascarpone cream.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
