Tiramisu Brownies
Description
This recipe layers a smooth chocolate brownie batter with soaked ladyfingers and a creamy mascarpone filling for a hybrid tiramisu dessert. The batter is made by melting chocolate and mixing it with butter, sugar, eggs, and cake flour to produce a fudgy base. The ladyfingers are placed upside down atop the batter and saturated with brewed Italian roast coffee, lending authentic tiramisu flavor and moisture. A mascarpone and cream cheese blend sweetened with sugar, egg whites, and vanilla is spread over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, providing a creamy contrast to the brownies. Finally, spoonfuls of brownie batter are swirled over the mascarpone layer and baked until just set.
The result is a rich dessert with a variety of textures—from the dense brownie to the soft coffee-soaked ladyfingers and creamy topping. It serves well as a decadent conclusion to a meal or alongside coffee for a special treat.
This layered approach requires careful assembly, and baking times are crucial to avoid overcooking the delicate mascarpone filling or drying out the brownies.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter
- 12 ounces chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 egg whole
- 4 egg white
- 1 cup cake flour
For the Mascarpone Filling
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 egg white
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
For the Brownies
- 1 package ladyfingers soft
- 1 cup coffee brewed, Italian roast
Instructions
- In a large bowl, melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth and leave it to cool.
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13″ x 9″ baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate to a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment on. Beat in the butter followed by 1 cup of sugar and the 4 eggs and 4 egg whites. Add the flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, reserving 1 cup of the brownie batter.
- Lay the ladyfingers upside down on top of the batter, and push down slightly. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush the brewed coffee over the ladyfingers until they are saturated.
- In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of sugar, 4 egg whites and vanilla extract. Spread topping over ladyfingers over ladyfingers. Place spoonful of brownie batter on top of the creamy filling and swirl it lightly with a toothpick or knife.
