Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/3 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, for espresso soak)
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Shaved chocolate or curls (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together. Whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Pour batter into pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. Brew espresso or strong coffee. Mix with coffee liqueur and optional sugar. Brush or drizzle over cooled brownies.
  5. In a bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until thick and fluffy.
  6. Spread mascarpone mixture evenly over brownies. Chill for at least 1 hour to set.
  7. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

  • Use a boxed brownie mix for convenience.
  • Add espresso powder to brownie batter for a mocha version.
  • Layer ladyfingers between brownie and mascarpone for tiramisu authenticity.
  • Use cream cheese instead of mascarpone for a tangier topping.
  • Best served chilled or at room temperature—do not reheat.
  • Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze without cocoa dusting.
