Description
A rich and easy dessert featuring a dense chocolate brownie base topped with creamy chocolate mousse.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
- In a bowl, mix together cocoa powder, flour, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- For the mousse, heat heavy cream in a saucepan but don’t let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted.
- Allow to cool slightly, then fold in powdered sugar.
- Once brownies have cooled, spread the mousse over the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set.
- Slice and serve, optionally topping with chocolate ganache.
Notes
Grease the pan well so brownies lift out easily. Do not overbake; the center should stay slightly soft. Chill until firm for clean slices.
