Tiramisu Brownie Cups

Tiramisu Brownie Cups

These bring all that is great about tiramisu with a fudgy brownie base that wraps around it. The cups are perfect for transporting - bring them to work or school or to a friends house! The brownies get filled with a mascarpone/cream filling and topped with cocoa powder for that tiramisu vibe without all the hassle.

Ingredients

  • 100 g Semi-Sweet/Dark Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 25 ml Brewed Coffee See Notes
  • 2 Large Free Range Eggs
  • 90 g Plain Flour
  • 30 g Cocoa Powder
  • Pinch of Salt

For the Filling

  • 200 g Mascarpone or Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • 150 ml Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
  • 50 g Powdered Sugar (Icing Sugar)
  • Cocoa Powder To Decorate
  • Coffee Beans To Decorate (Optional)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180℃ Fan/390℉. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
  • In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn. Alternatively, set up a double boiler. Do this by placing a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and stir until melted. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, coffee and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time and mixing in between. 
  • Now, add the melted chocolate slowly and combine once again. 
  • Add the flour, salt and cocoa powder, fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Scoop into the muffin tin holes, no need to worry about filling close to the top, they don't rise much at all.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, until no longer wobbly. While still warm, create the indents by using a teaspoon measure, egg cup or end of a wooden spoon. Press into the middle, leaving tall sides. Let cool.

For the Filling

  • Whisk the mascarpone or cream cheese with the powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth but thick. Add the cream and whisk until smooth and still fairly thick.
  • Either spoon or pipe this filling into the brownie cups. Dust with a little cocoa powder and optional: add a few coffee beans onto the top of each for decoration.

Notes

  1. Brewed Coffee: this can either be instant coffee made up with boiling water, or your regular filter/aeropress/machine coffee. If making instant, go for half a teaspoon plus 30ml water. If using anything from a machine, just expect the coffee flavour to be a little more subtle.
