Tiramisu Brownies That’ll Make You Question Everything

Okay, so who here has tried combining two of the best desserts EVER? Like, brownies and tiramisu? It’s a wild ride, folks. I mean, how can you possibly go wrong?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, imagine we’re wandering through the grocery store right now. So, first up, we need 113 grams of unsalted butter—make sure it’s not salted (lesson learned the hard way, trust me). Then, dark chocolate! 200 grams of that glorious stuff. If you’re feeling fancy, get some good quality; it makes a difference!

We also have brown sugar (100 grams), granulated sugar (50 grams), and three eggs. Pro tip: make sure your eggs are at room temp for that extra fluffiness! Oh, and don’t forget about 90 grams of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract!

Now, for the coffee lovers: 2 shots of espresso or instant coffee (whichever floats your boat). Then we need 250 grams of mascarpone cheese—let it get cozy at room temp, too. For the topping: 240 ml of heavy cream, 50 grams of sugar, and more vanilla extract (another half teaspoon, just to be safe). Oh, and cocoa powder for the dusting!

Phew, right? Just a quick trip!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the thing. I remember the first time I made these. I had friends over and was like, “I’m gonna impress them!” Spoiler alert: I did! We all nearly lost our minds over these brownies—seriously, they were gone in like, 5 minutes. We even fought over the last one (not proud, but also kinda hilarious).

Tiramisu was my mom’s go-to dessert. So, combining it with brownies felt like a homage to her, you know? Every time I make these, I can almost hear her saying, “Now that’s how you do it!” It’s like a flavor hug from the past.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

(Another beautiful shot because we can’t get enough!)

Here’s another angle of those beauties because one just isn’t enough! Seriously, look at that gooeyness. 😍

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So, here’s the game-changer: poking holes into the brownies once they come out of the oven. Like, I never used to do this, but then I realized it lets that espresso soak in super nicely! Trust me, it transforms them from “just brownies” to “whoa, what is this magic?!”

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– First, don’t skip the espresso—it’s essential for that tiramisu vibe.
– If your top cracks while baking (it happens, don’t worry), just cover it with the mascarpone mix. I mean, who’s gonna complain when there’s chocolate and coffee involved?
– Use room temp ingredients! Seriously. It makes a difference in texture.
– Oh, and once you dust with cocoa, don’t wait too long to serve them. They look gorgeous but can get a little messy if left too long.
– Lastly, don’t eat them all yourself! (But I get it if you do… 🤭)

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you somehow have leftovers (doubtful), pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can chill there for about 3-4 days—if they last that long! Just be sure to dust with more cocoa before serving again. #JustSaying
