Can I make Tiramisu Brownies without coffee?

Yes! If you're not a fan of coffee, you can replace the instant coffee or espresso with hot water or a flavored syrup like caramel or vanilla. However, keep in mind that the coffee flavor is a key element in mimicking the tiramisu flavor, so omitting it will change the overall taste of the dessert.

How do I store leftover Tiramisu Brownies?

After the brownies have cooled completely, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the brownies for up to 3 months. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.

Can I make these brownies gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily make Tiramisu Brownies gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to use a blend that’s designed for baking to ensure the texture and flavor remain close to the original.

2 large eggs
1 tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder
1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the instant coffee or espresso powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the mascarpone layer. In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the brownies have cooled to room temperature, spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top of the brownies.
Sift cocoa powder over the mascarpone layer and refrigerate the brownies for at least two hours, preferably overnight, to set.

Notes

Let the brownies cool completely before spreading the mascarpone layer to avoid melting it.
For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso powder or a shot of brewed espresso in the mascarpone mixture.
Store the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
