Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the Tiramisu Layer:
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tbsp strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Start with the brownie base. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Pour this thick batter into your prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Now, make the tiramisu topping. In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg yolk, cooled espresso, and vanilla, and beat again until everything is creamy and well incorporated.
- Dollop the tiramisu mixture over the brownie batter. Use a knife or offset spatula to swirl the two layers together beautifully.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center only has a slight jiggle. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan—this is crucial for clean slices!
- Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper, dust generously with cocoa powder, and cut into squares.
