Let’s delve into the art of crafting this delectable treat together.
Ingredients:
For the Brookie Layer:
- 1 box brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix box
- 16 Oreo cookies, crushed
For the Tiramisu Layer:
- 8 oz (226g) mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 1/4 cup (22g) unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
For the Topping:
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Crushed Oreo cookies, for garnish
Directions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the brownie mix box and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, then stir in the crushed Oreo cookies. Spread this delightful mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
- Creating the Tiramisu Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese until it achieves a smooth consistency. In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese until well combined.
- Layering the Dessert: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur if you opt for an extra kick of flavor. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they soak up the flavors without becoming overly soggy. Arrange a layer of these soaked ladyfingers over the cooled brownie layer in the baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then dust with cocoa powder. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture. Finally, dust the top with cocoa powder.
- Adding the Topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread this luscious whipped cream over the top of the tiramisu. Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the whipped cream layer, adding a delightful crunch and an extra burst of Oreo goodness.
- Chilling and Serving: Cover your masterpiece and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or if you can resist, overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in an even more divine taste experience. When ready to serve, slice into portions and savor each spoonful of this indulgent delight.
