Servings: 9
Equipment
- Baking Dish 9-Inch Square
Ingredients
- 1 Box brownie mix 18.3-Ounce box, plus ingredients listed on box - usually eggs, oil and water
- 1 Cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 8 to 10 lady fingers
- 8 Ounces mascarpone cheese at room temperature
- 1 Cup heavy cream very cold
- ¾ Cup powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box, substituting the cooled espresso for the water.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake according to the instructions on the box. Allow the brownie base to cool completely in the pan.
- While the brownies are cooling, make the mascarpone topping by whipping together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium sized bowl until light and fluffy.
- When the brownie base is cool, add half of the mascarpone topping onto the brownies and spread to the edges.
- In a shallow bowl, pour in the remaining espresso or strong coffee. Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the espresso and lay the lady fingers in a single layer on top, trimming them as needed to fit the pan.
- Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of lady fingers.
- Refrigerate the brownies for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
- Dust the top generously with cocoa powder, then slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Don't skip the parchment paper: If you don't line your baking pan, the tiramisu brownies will stick to it and break apart.
Let it cool: It's important to cool the brownies completely before adding the mascarpone and lady finger layers, otherwise the mascarpone mixture will melt and look messy.
Mascarpone topping texture: Avoid overmixing, as this can cause the topping to become runny. If it feels too thick, a splash of cream can help adjust the consistency.
