Anytime I can get the flavors of tiramisu without making a zabaglione sauce in a double boiler, I’m happy (and you will be, too!) I have to pat myself on the back for this one: using melted coffee ice cream instead of making a burdensome zabaglione sauce on the stove! Just melt your favorite coffee flavored ice cream, and the beat it together with cream cheese, and you have the incredible fluffy custard topping for these tiramisu brownies.You might recognize the bottom brownie layer from my marshmallow brownies recipe.In my opinion, it’s the best brownies you can make in an 8-inch pan! Ingredients For the brownies: Butter.

We need just over one stick of butter.Technically, one stick plus 2 tablespoons, which is 10 tablespoons total.I use unsalted butter in my baking, because I add salt later.

Cocoa Powder.Three-quarters of a cup plus 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder forms the base of these tiramisu brownies.Cocoa powder acts like flour in this recipe, though we will use a small amount of flour, still.

Sugar.One and one-quarter cups of granulated sugar.Vanilla.

One and a half teaspoons (which is half of a tablespoon of vanilla) might seem excessive in a chocolate dessert, but vanilla is an essential part of chocolate desserts! Salt.We need one-half teaspoon of salt for the brownie layer.
