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
  • 2 shots of espresso or instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream Topping

  • 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

Garnish

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt into the batter. Gently fold or whisk until fully combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Soak Brownies with Espresso: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven. While still warm, poke holes all over the surface and pour two shots of espresso or instant coffee evenly over, allowing the coffee to soak in. 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 Espresso and Sugar: Add espresso powder, sugar, and salt to the mascarpone mixture. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and airy cream.
  10. Assemble Topping: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled brownie base, smoothing the top with a spatula for a neat finish.
  11. Dust with Cocoa: Using a fine sieve, dust cocoa powder over the mascarpone topping to enhance the tiramisu flavor and appearance.
  12. Final Touches: Carefully lift the brownies out from the tin using the parchment paper. Peel away the paper, cut the brownies into equal-sized squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Poking holes in the warm brownies allows the espresso to permeate deeply, enhancing the coffee flavor.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer chocolate taste.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; start checking at 25 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before applying the mascarpone cream to prevent it from melting.
