Tips to Make Gluten Free Tiramisu Brownies

1. Don’t skip the espresso powder — it enhances the chocolate flavor like no other.
2. If you want a richer taste, consider adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the mascarpone mixture.
3. To ensure perfect texture, whip that cream to stiff peaks; it gives the tiramisu layer great structure.
4. Use high-quality cocoa powder for that decadent chocolate flavor.
5. Divide and conquer— if you’re feeling adventurous, split the brownie batter into different pans and try different flavors! 😊

Variation

Want to jazz things up? Try adding a hint of orange zest to the mascarpone layer for a refreshing twist. Or, if you’re in the mood for a vegan version, swap the eggs for flaxseed meal and use coconut cream instead of mascarpone. The possibilities are endless!

FAQs
