Ingredients

Scale

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
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 shots espresso or instant coffee

Mascarpone Cream Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 or 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal later.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chopped dark chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Sugars: Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add vanilla extract, then beat in eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour and salt, then gently fold them into the chocolate mixture until just combined without overmixing.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smooth the top evenly, and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Infuse with Espresso: Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately poke small holes all over the surface. Pour the espresso shots evenly over the warm brownies and let them absorb the coffee as they cool completely.
  8. Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and heavy cream briefly to combine.
  9. Add Espresso and Sugar: Add espresso powder and powdered sugar to the mascarpone mixture, then whisk for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form and the topping is thick and fluffy.
  10. Top Brownies: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the cooled espresso-infused brownies and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  11. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Using a fine sieve, dust a generous layer of cocoa powder over the mascarpone topping to mimic classic tiramisu presentation.
  12. Serve: Carefully lift the brownies out of the tin by the parchment paper and cut into squares. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature for a rich dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for a smooth topping without lumps.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso shots for the best coffee flavor or high-quality instant coffee dissolved in hot water.
  • Do not overbake the brownies; they should remain moist and fudgy.
  • For a stronger coffee kick, increase espresso powder in the mascarpone cream slightly.
  • Store the brownies covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
