Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and brewed espresso or strong coffee until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine, ensuring you do not overmix to keep the batter light.
  5. Add Mascarpone Cheese: Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until just mixed, allowing for beautiful swirls within the batter that enhance texture and flavor.
  6. Optional Addition: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips to add extra bursts of chocolate throughout the brownies.
  7. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the brownies are set yet remain soft in the center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before slicing to achieve clean cuts and to let flavors develop fully.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain the delicate mascarpone swirls and prevent toughness.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee for the best tiramisu flavor.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely for easier slicing and better texture.
  • Chocolate chips are optional but add a nice melty contrast.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
