Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tiramisu Topping

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Finishing

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick, uniform batter forms.
  5. Bake Brownie Base: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before proceeding.
  6. Prepare Tiramisu Cream: In a clean bowl, beat mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to create a light and airy cream.
  7. Add Coffee Flavor: Slowly fold in the cooled brewed espresso or strong coffee into the mascarpone cream mixture to infuse the tiramisu flavor evenly.
  8. Assemble the Dessert: Spread the tiramisu cream evenly over the cooled brownie base to form a smooth layer.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the brownies with tiramisu topping for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
  10. Serve: Dust the chilled tiramisu brownies generously with unsweetened cocoa powder, slice into 9 squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Chill the brownies fully before adding the tiramisu layer for best layering results.
  • Use room temperature mascarpone cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth cream texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for optimal freshness.
