Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Brownie Base:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

• Mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted chocolate until well combined.

• Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking each until fully incorporated.

• Sift the flour and salt into the mixture and gently fold or whisk until combined.

• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.

• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

3. Add Espresso:

• Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven. Use a skewer or fork to poke holes into the brownies.

• Pour the espresso shots over the brownies while they’re still warm. Let them soak in and set aside to cool.

4. Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream for about 30 seconds until combined.

• Add the espresso powder and powdered sugar, then whisk for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form.

5. Assemble the Brownies:

• Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the top of the brownies, smoothing the surface.

• Dust the tiramisu brownies with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.

6. Serve:

• Carefully remove the brownies from the tin and peel away the parchment paper.

• Cut into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy your indulgent tiramisu brownies!

Notes

• Alcohol Variation: To mimic the traditional tiramisu flavors, you can soak the brownies in Marsala wine, Sambuca, Amaretto, dark rum, or brandy.

• Time-Saving Tip: Use a brownie mix if you’re short on time. Just follow the mix instructions and proceed with the mascarpone cream topping.

• Neat Slicing Tip: Keep a cup of warm water and a paper towel handy when cutting the brownies. Dip your knife in the warm water, wipe it clean, and slice for neat, clean edges.
