Recipe: 

Brownie Base

• 40g Cocoa Bar In A Jar Cafe Mocha Spread
• 8 oz unsweetened applesauce
• 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp instant coffee
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 40g honey or sugar-free sweetener of choice
• 3g sea salt
• 3g stevia powder (optional for extra sweetness)

Tiramisu Cream Layer

• 30g whipped cream
• 20 oz nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 packet sugar-free pudding mix (either vanilla or salted caramel from Simply Delish work perfect here!)
• 1–2 tsp almond or rum extract
• 4g stevia
• Pinch of sea salt

Optional Topping

• Unsweetened dark cocoa powder

Directions

1. Prepare the Brownie Base:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine all brownie base ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Line or grease a large rectangular baking dish, pour the batter in, and spread evenly.
2. Bake:
   Bake for 22 minutes. The base will remain slightly underdone—this is what makes it perfectly gooey!
3. Mix the Tiramisu Layer:
   While the brownie base bakes, prepare the tiramisu topping. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, pudding mix, almond/rum extract, stevia, and salt. Once smooth, gently fold in the whipped cream for a light, airy texture. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Cool and Assemble:
   Allow the brownie base to cool completely. Once cooled, spread the tiramisu cream layer evenly on top. Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish.
5. Cut and Serve:
   Slice into 8 equal pieces and enjoy!

Pro Tips

• For an even stronger coffee flavor, dissolve the instant coffee in a teaspoon of water before adding to the brownie batter.
• Want extra protein? Use a thicker Greek yogurt or increase the whipped cream for added fluff.
• Store leftovers in the fridge—they taste even better chilled!

These Tiramisu Brownies are perfect for a post-dinner treat, a special holiday dessert, or whenever you want a bit of indulgence without the extra sugar or flour. With their gooey brownie base and light-as-air tiramisu topping, they’ll become a fast favorite in your dessert repertoire.
