Print Recipe

Rich, fudgy brownies topped with a silky, creamy chocolate mousse for a delightful layered dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely.
  8. For the mousse, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
  9. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, then fold in the powdered sugar.
  10. Spread the chocolate mousse over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Notes

Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
