Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the granulated sugar. Mix until well incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips to the batter.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the greased baking pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
- While the brownies cool, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and coffee liqueur until smooth and creamy.
- Dip each brownie square into the cooled espresso for a brief moment, then place them back into the pan.
- Spread the mascarpone layer generously over the cooled brownies.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the brownies to set.
- Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
- Ensure brownies cool completely before adding the tiramisu layer.
- Experiment with coffee liqueur for enhanced taste.
- These brownies can be made a day ahead for better flavor melding.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.
