Ingredients
1 pkg Fudgy Brownie Mix
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
1⁄4 cup milk, your choice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup light cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon (ground)
1 cup whipping cream, divided
1⁄2 cup strongly brewed coffee, room temperature
10ā12 Ladyfinger biscuits
Instructions
Lightly oil Square Steamer or a microwavable 8" silicone square pan.
In a large bowl, combine mix and melted butter until well combined. Stir in eggs, milk, and vanilla. Scrape into pan; smooth top.
Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4 min. Let cool completely in pan. (See Tip if making brownies ahead of time.)
Meanwhile, in a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese with icing sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Beat in 2 tbsp whipping cream to loosen the mixture, then add the remaining whipping cream. Beat on high until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream mixture over brownies.
Pour coffee into a shallow bowl. One at a time, dip ladyfingers into coffee, turning over quickly to lightly coat each side. Arrange on top of brownie, breaking to fit, as needed. Discard any leftover coffee.
Dollop remaining whipped cream mixture over ladyfingers; spread evenly to cover. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hr, or up to overnight. Dust with cocoa before serving, if desired.

Tips
If making brownie ahead, rest in pan for 6 min, then unmold. Seal tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Place brownie back into the steamer to continue the recipe.
Swap cream cheese for mascarpone cheese. Mascarpone is traditional for tiramisu and has a lighter consistency.
Add 1 tbsp orange or coffee-flavoured liqueur to coffee before dunking ladyfingers.
To bake brownies in the oven, decrease the amount of milk in the recipe to 2 tbsp, and bake in preheated 350Ā° F oven for 20ā25 min, or until toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs on it.
