The gooey layers of chocolate, coffee, and cookies in these Tiramisu Brownies will have you reaching for more dessert in a hurry.
I might need to make another pan of these Tiramisu Brownies...to make up for the story I am about to share with you! Good thing brownies topped with coffee cheesecake and coffee soaked cookies is my husband's favorite dessert.
(Honey, if you are reading...you might want to skip this post)
My husband's car broke down about a month ago because it needed a fancy expensive piece.
With Christmas break and the kids being out of school, we really didn't have a huge need for 2 vehicles, so he waited to purchase the piece. Last week he ordered the piece and anxiously waited for it because he really does like driving his cool red car.
But when this piece was finally arrived and he put it in. The car still didn't run.
Wanna know why? The gas gauge is also broken.
It turns out the car was just out of gas.
He says he tweaked a few wires while he was out there filling up the gas tank...just in case that was it. But it was 15* out and dark...kinda hard to see said wires!
I'm going with the "it was just out of gas" option because it started right up after that.
Oh boy, he is never going to live this one down!!! Lots of laughing has been going on over here.
I'm totally going to remember and savor this moment! Even if it costs me a hundred more pans of these tiramisu brownies!
It's good to have one of these moments on my side because he has way too many of my "moments" on his side.
Tiramisu Brownies recipe:
Tiramisu Brownies
These Tiramisu Brownies are topped with a no bake coffee cheesecake and coffee soaked cookies. Perfect ending to any meal!
Ingredients
- 1 - 9x13 size brownie mix
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons instant coffee, divided
- 1 - 3.4 ounce box cheesecake pudding
- 1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 - 16 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed & divided
- 1 package Stella D'oro Margherite cookies, broken into chunks
- ½ cup hot water
- cocoa powder
Instructions
- Bake brownies according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
- Dissolve 2 tablespoons coffee in slightly warm milk. Whisk in the dry pudding mix and set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese in another bowl until creamy. Add the sour cream and beat again on low speed.
- Gently stir in the pudding mix and half of the Cool Whip.
- Spread half of the pudding mix over the cooled brownies. Lay the cookie chunks on top of the pudding layer.
- Dissolve the other 2 tablespoons coffee in the hot water and drizzle over the cookie chunks slowly. Let the coffee soak into the cookies.
- Spread the rest of the pudding mixture on top of the cookies gently, being carful not to disturb the cookies.
- Top with the remaining Cool Whip. Refrigerate until time to serve.
- Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- I found the coffee cookies at our local grocery store. I have seen them at Walmart as well.
- My favorite box brownie mix is from Aldi.

HI, Do you think that I could add some Kahlua or rum to this? If so, where & how much could I use?
Thank You, Susie
Jocelyn
You could use 1/4 cup coffee and a 1/4 cup Kahlua/rum to dip the ladyfinger cookies in.
Susie
Thanks for getting right back to me.............I'll try those amounts.
Nancy Foote
Recipe calls for 1/2 cup milk... and whisk pudding mix into milk... this just turns into a huge thick blob... proportions of something are out of whack... has no one else noticed this? please check and let me know...
Jocelyn
Yes, the measurements are correct and yes, the pudding will be very, very thick. But then you beat it into the cream cheese and sour cream and add Cool Whip, so it will end up creamy just like the pictures. I hope this helps and you enjoy the brownies.
Nancy Foote
thanks for responding.... I'll give a try!

Hi All. Can someone tell me what "cool whip" is? I would love to try and make these but I live in South Africa and have never heard of "cool whip" and so I don't know what I can substitute. Any ideas? Thanks.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Cool Whip is a non dairy whipped cream that you buy in the frozen department of the grocery store. You could try using whipped cream, but that isn't as stable as Cool Whip, so you would need to eat the entire pan right away since it wouldn't last very long.

How can I change this to use Marscapone cheese?
Jocelyn Brubaker
I have actually never used Marscapone cheese before. Maybe just substitute it evenly? Sorry I can't help you more, but I have only tried this with cream cheese.

First time making and was a total hit. The only change I made was that I used a mocha brownie mix. I will definatly make this again since it is my husbands new favorite dessert and it is so easy to make:)
Jocelyn Brubaker
Woot woot!!! I am so glad you guys liked it 🙂
Loretta
Tiramisu is my favorite! I don't have it very often, but this looks easier than the standard version!
Christina
These look amazing! I'm wondering about the cheesecake pudding mix. Is it the instant pudding powder?
Jocelyn Brubaker
Hi, Christina. Yes, it is a box of instant pudding.
Theresa

sorry if this is a dense question... do you make this recipe in a 9x13 pan or 8x8?
Janet
Wasn’t dumb. I was wondering the same thing
Jocelyn
Hi, Janet. The recipe card calls for a box brownie mix for a 9x13 pan, so you will bake the brownies in that pan before adding the topping. I hope that helps and you enjoy the brownies.
Nancy
