Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120g) butter
- 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa content)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch brownie pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate with 1/2 cup (120g) butter. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, and 3 large eggs until creamy. Mix in the melted chocolate and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold in 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder and 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Whisk together 8 oz (225g) mascarpone, 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar, and 1 tsp instant espresso powder until smooth.
- Let the brownies cool completely. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top.
- Sift unsweetened cocoa powder over the mascarpone layer for a classic tiramisu finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the layers set and flavors meld together.
Notes
Chilling the brownies for at least 2 hours enhances the flavors and helps the layers set. For clean slices, use a hot knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
