Tiramisu Brownies Recipe

I love combining classic desserts, and these Tiramisu Brownies bring together the rich, fudgy texture of brownies with the creamy, coffee-kissed elegance of tiramisu. The contrast between the dense chocolate base and the airy mascarpone layer makes each bite irresistible!

A Perfect Fusion of Two Classics

I have a deep, enduring love for tiramisu, and what makes it even more exciting is the endless array of variations you can try—Matcha Tiramisu, Mango Tiramisu, Oreo Tiramisu, Biscoff Tiramisu, and even an Eggless Tiramisu.

Each version has its own charm and brings something unique to the table, but today, I’m sharing a twist on the classic that will leave you in awe: Tiramisu Brownies.

Instead of the traditional ladyfingers that are the hallmark of a classic tiramisu, I’ve swapped them out for a rich, fudgy base of brownies—one of my all-time favorite desserts.

I love exploring different takes on brownies too, whether it’s the nutty, vibrant flavor of Pistachio Brownies or the comforting sweetness of Banana Brownies.

Now, it’s your turn to experience this sweet fusion! Follow along with the detailed recipe below, and soon you’ll be savoring your very own Tiramisu Brownies at home.tiramisu brownies 3tiramisu brownies 1
