Instruções

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract mix until combined

Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and light.

Once the brownies have cooled, use a fork or toothpick to poke holes all over the surface. Drizzle the coffee mixture evenly over the brownies, allowing it to soak into the holes.

Spread the tiramisu cream layer evenly over the soaked brownies.

Serve or refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the tiramisu cream to set and the flavors to meld.

Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu cream with cocoa powder for the classic finish.
