Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 113 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 90 g all-purpose flour, sifted
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Espresso Soak

  • 2 shots of espresso or strong instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp espresso powder

Finishing

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8 or 9-inch square baking tin by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Mix both the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate butter mixture until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to fully integrate them into the batter.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt into the mixture. Gently fold or whisk until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared tin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Espresso Soak: As soon as the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and poke small holes all over the surface. Pour the two shots of espresso evenly over the top, allowing the coffee to soak into the brownies. 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 the mixture starts to combine.
  9. Add Flavors and Whisk: Add the espresso powder and sugar to the mascarpone mixture. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy cream.
  10. Top Brownies: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled, espresso-soaked brownies and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  11. Dust with Cocoa: Using a sieve, dust a generous layer of cocoa powder over the mascarpone topping for the signature tiramisu finish.
  12. Cut and Serve: Carefully lift the brownies out of the tin by the parchment paper edges. Peel away the parchment, then cut the brownies into equal-sized squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • If you don’t have espresso shots, strong instant coffee will work well for soaking.
  • Do not overbake the brownies to keep them moist and fudgy.
  • The mascarpone cream can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
