  • Total Time: 4 hours 40 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

  • ¾ cup butter
  • ¾ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Tiramisu Layer

  • 14 ladyfingers
  • 1 cup espresso or other strong coffee
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Finishing

  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and Cocoa: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and Dutch-process cocoa powder together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and 1 cup sugar until well combined and slightly thickened.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add the cooled butter-cocoa mixture and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold or mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Bake Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Poke Holes and Cool: Once baked, use a fork to poke several small holes across the brownie surface. Allow brownies to cool to room temperature.
  8. Prepare Espresso Mixture: Combine espresso and ½ cup sugar in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture to soak slightly without becoming soggy.
  9. Assemble Ladyfingers: Arrange a single layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  10. Make Mascarpone Cream: In a large bowl, whip together mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and remaining ½ cup sugar until the mixture holds medium peaks.
  11. Top with Cream and Chill: Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until set.
  12. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu finish. Slice into 16 servings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be careful not to over-soak the ladyfingers in coffee to prevent sogginess.
  • For stronger coffee flavor, use freshly brewed espresso.
  • Allow ample chilling time for the mascarpone cream to firm up properly.
  • To make slicing easier, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire dessert from the pan.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
