Tiramisu Layer

  2. Once the brownies have cooled, spread the mascarpone mixture evenly on top.
  3. Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To freeze, wrap individual pieces tightly and they’ll last for about a month. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before reheating in the microwave.
