Irresistible Tiramisu Brownies with 2 Coffee Layers | Coffee-Lover’s Dream

Step 1: Brownie Base

Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Listen, line your 9×13 pan with parchment paper — trust me on this, I learned the hard way! Mix melted butter with sugar until it’s kinda grainy but glossy. Beat in eggs one at a time… the mixture should look like silk.

Step 2: Coffee Infusion

Here’s where the magic happens! Fold in flour and cocoa powder — but don’t overmix (tough brownies are SO 2023). Add one shot of espresso to the batter. It should smell like heaven in your kitchen right about now.

Step 3: First Bake

Pour into your pan and bake for 25 mins. The toothpick test might not work here cause we want them FUDGY. Look for slightly jiggly centers but set edges. Let cool completely — I sometimes pop mine in the freezer for 15 mins cause patience isn’t my strong suit!

Step 4: Mascarpone Layer

While cooling, whip mascarpone, heavy cream, and 2 tbsp sugar until peaks form. Don’t overbeat or it’ll get grainy (been there…).  Irresistible Tiramisu Brownies with 2 Coffee Layers Spread over cooled brownies like you’re frosting the fanciest cake ever.
