Mock Brownie Tiramisu

Tuesday, January 24, 2012
This was a winning recipe featured on The Balancing Act and it was my Mock Brownie Tiramisu.


The recipe is a layered brownie with a delicious instant cheesecake creamy filling, hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and topped with fresh strawberries.


With just a few pantry ingredients you can make the easiest chocolate brownie recipe in no time or just use your favorite store-bought mix.


I was inspired to do the contest since I was a huge fan of baker's chocolate and have used it since that was all my mom used in the 1960s to bake with.


If you're a brownie fan you can also try my Layered Peanut Butter Brownies and my fabulous 2 Ingredient Nutella Brownies.

Semi-Homemade Desserts and TV Video




Seriously the brownie recipe is super easy, but of course, you can use your favorite mix also.


I did make everything ahead of time before I got on the set of The Balancing Act and just reenacted the layering part, you can see my video below.



The whole dessert is so fast and easy and perfect for Valentine's Day tinting the whipped cream pink, it was so festive.

This was a winning recipe shown on TV on The Balancing Act. The contest was sponsored by Kraft and this was featured on their program. Brownies, layered with Tiramisu and whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 batch of baked dark fudge brownie recipe or store-bought brownies cut up in small chunks
  • 1 Tiramisu filling, recipe ( cheesecake filling can be also purchased in the dairy case in a premade container by Kraft at your local supermarket, or another suggestion is to make Jello instant cheesecake pudding and pie filling found on the grocery shelf by other pudding mixes and add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the mix )
  • 1 jar hot fudge
  • For the Adult version add:
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons Kahlua or (more if you like) in 1/4 coffee brewed leftover if you have it sprinkle this on the brownie layer
  • For the Kids version:
  • Sprinkle the brownie layer with a few teaspoons of chocolate syrup, omit the coffee and alcohol.
  • Garnish:
  • Whipped Topping
  • Fresh Strawberries dip each one in Hot warmed fudge
  • Red-colored sugar optional
  • Maraschino cherry juice, strawberry syrup, or red food coloring to color the cheesecake mixture
  • Mason jars for the parfait (shown in photo's) or use any parfait glass

Instructions

  1. Crumble up the brownies place them in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the cheesecake filling, with your choice of coloring to make it pink or whatever color theme you want.
  2. Sprinkle Kahlua mixed with coffee on the brownie(or make the nonalcohol version for kids)
  3. In the meantime, microwave some hot fudge topping for 30 seconds. Dip the strawberries in hot fudge and set them aside.
  4. Assembly:
  5. In a mason jar or other decorative glass, crumble brownies on the bottom in an even layer.
  6. Top with a few tablespoons or more to your liking of Kahlua/coffee mixture. Spread a few tablespoons of cheesecake filling over the top (Tip: for an even easier method, put cheesecake filling in a ziplock bag and snip the corner off to fill, squeeze on top of brownies) then add the whipped cream.
  7. Repeat, brownie, Kahlua, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream until you get to the top ending with whipped cream.
  8. Place a strawberry that has been dipped in warm chocolate hot fudge and add on the mound of the whipped cream parfait.
  9. Sprinkle the top with any coordinating colored sugar this one is with red-colored sugar... you can tint this any color you want for any Holiday or make a big batch using a very large one bowl glass trifle dish!
