Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons espresso or strong coffee
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in granulated sugar. Let it cool slightly, then whisk in eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes.
- For the tiramisu layer, whip mascarpone, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in espresso or coffee.
- Spread the tiramisu layer evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding the tiramisu layer.
- For best flavor, let the brownies chill overnight.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and espresso for optimal taste.
- Optional: Add chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra richness.
- For a non-caffeinated version, substitute espresso with decaffeinated coffee.
