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
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder to evenly distribute the espresso flavor.
  4. Form brownie batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick, consistent batter forms without lumps.
  5. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until just set but still moist inside. Let cool completely before proceeding.
  6. Prepare mascarpone cream: In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Whip the cream: In another clean bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture to create a light, airy topping.
  8. Add coffee flavor: Fold in the brewed espresso or strong coffee into the cream mixture evenly, blending the tiramisu flavors.
  9. Assemble the brownies: Spread the tiramisu cream evenly over the completely cooled brownie base, smoothing the top.
  10. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the topping to firm up.
  11. Finish and serve: Dust the chilled tiramisu-topped brownies with unsweetened cocoa powder, slice into 9 squares, and serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before adding the tiramisu layer to prevent melting the cream.
  • Use room temperature mascarpone for a lump-free, smooth cream layer.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
