Tiramisu Brownies Fusion Dessert (Printable Version)

Tiramisu brownies blend fudge chocolate and espresso cream for an irresistible treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Brownie Base

01 - 115 g unsalted butter, melted
02 - 200 g granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 65 g all-purpose flour
06 - 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 45 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

→ Tiramisu Layer

10 - 225 g mascarpone cheese
11 - 240 ml heavy cream
12 - 30 g powdered sugar
13 - 2 tablespoons espresso or strong coffee, cooled
14 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
15 - Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
04 - Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, if using.
05 - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
06 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. For best results, use a hand or stand mixer.
07 - Once the brownie base is completely cooled, spread the tiramisu layer evenly over the top using a spatula. Smooth the surface for an even finish.
08 - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until the tiramisu layer is firm and set.
09 - Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder, slice into squares, and serve chilled.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For intensified coffee flavor, briefly drizzle additional espresso over the cooled brownie base before layering the tiramisu cream.
02 - To achieve a lighter tiramisu layer, gently fold in whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
03 - Store in the refrigerator and serve chilled to best preserve the texture of the tiramisu layer.
04 - Ricotta cheese may substitute mascarpone for a more traditional note, though mascarpone delivers a richer texture.
