Let’s Make Some!

Alright, fellow food lovers, let’s get our aprons on and make some Tiramisu Brownies! These instructions are written like we’re cooking together in my kitchen. So, grab your mixing bowls, and let’s get started! If your kids love this, they’ll go crazy for these delicious brownies!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. This ensures your Tiramisu Brownies don’t stick and bake evenly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Make sure everything is well combined. No one wants clumps of cocoa powder in their Tiramisu Brownies!
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can result in tough Tiramisu Brownies.
Stir in the cooled coffee. The batter will be thin, but don’t worry, that’s how it should be!
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. This is where the magic starts happening!
In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If you’re using coffee liqueur, stir it in now.
Drop spoonfuls of the mascarpone mixture over the brownie batter. Then, use a knife or skewer to swirl the mascarpone into the brownie batter. Don’t over-swirl; you want to see distinct swirls!
Sprinkle the broken ladyfingers over the top of the brownies. This adds a subtle chewy texture and a nod to classic tiramisu.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. In my kitchen, these Tiramisu Brownies usually take about 32 minutes.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. This is the hardest part, I know, but it’s important! The Tiramisu Brownies will continue to set as they cool.

While your Tiramisu Brownies are doing their thing in the oven, get ready for some amazing aromas to fill your kitchen. Your Tiramisu Brownies should smell absolutely incredible right now – rich chocolate and coffee notes mingling together.

Don’t worry if your Tiramisu Brownies look a little uneven after baking. That’s part of the charm! Every batch is unique and delicious.

This is my favorite part of making Tiramisu Brownies – watching the delicious magic happen! You’re going to love these.

Use high-quality cocoa powder: This makes a huge difference in the overall flavor of the Tiramisu Brownies.
Don’t overbake: Overbaked brownies are dry and crumbly. Aim for fudgy and moist.
Let them cool completely: This allows the flavors to meld together and the brownies to set properly.

Delicious Tiramisu Brownies Variations I’ve Tested:
