Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 large Large Eggs Fresh
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder High-quality
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Chocolate Mousse

Ganache

  • 8 ounces Semisweet Chocolate Finely chopped

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  • Whisk melted butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine wet and dry mixtures until just blended.
  • Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Mousse and Ganache

  • Melt semisweet chocolate and milk in a saucepan, stirring until smooth. Whip the chilled cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks and fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Heat heavy cream for ganache in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

Assembly

  • Spread the mousse evenly over the cooled brownies and drizzle the ganache on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Notes

Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder or fresh berries for garnish. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
