Oh, that’s a decadent mash-up! 🍫☕ A Tiramisu Brownie combines fudgy brownies with creamy mascarpone filling and a dusting of cocoa, giving you the best of both worlds.
🍫 Tiramisu Brownie Recipe
Ingredients
For the brownie base:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
-
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup cocoa powder
-
½ tsp salt
For the tiramisu layer:
-
8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp strong brewed espresso (or coffee)
For finishing:
-
2 tbsp cocoa powder, for dusting
-
Optional: ladyfinger crumbs sprinkled on top for tiramisu vibes
Instructions
-
Make brownies → Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter, then whisk in both sugars. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Stir in flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined. Spread batter into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.
-
Make tiramisu layer → Beat mascarpone, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and espresso until smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble → Spread tiramisu mixture evenly over cooled brownies.
-
Chill → Refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight is best) so it firms up.
-
Finish → Dust generously with cocoa powder before slicing.
✨ Tips & Variations:
-
For extra tiramisu flair, brush the baked brownie with a little espresso + coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa) before adding the topping.
-
Use a brownie mix shortcut if you want to save time — just bake and cool, then top with the tiramisu layer.
-
Add chocolate shavings or a drizzle of ganache on top for extra indulgence.
Would you like me to also give you a no-bake tiramisu brownie bars version (using crushed brownie/cookie base instead of baking)?
