Ingredients
200g dark chocolate
150g unsalted butter
250g caster sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
1 tsp instant coffee granules
2 tbsp hot water
250g mascarpone
200ml double cream
75g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp instant coffee mixed with 1 tbsp hot water
Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Add the caster sugar and whisk until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, folding gently until just combined. Dissolve the instant coffee in hot water and fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 25–30 minutes until set with a slightly fudgy center. Cool completely in the tin.
- Whisk mascarpone, double cream, icing sugar, and vanilla until thick and smooth. Fold in the prepared coffee mixture.
- Spread the mascarpone topping over the cooled brownies evenly.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
- Dust with cocoa powder, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
Add a splash of coffee liqueur to the topping for a stronger tiramisu flavor.
Chocolate chips can be added to the batter for extra texture.
Serve with fresh berries for a lighter finish.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
Brownie base can be frozen, but avoid freezing with topping.
