Ingredients
- Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the brownie base and the mousse topping to perfection.
- Cocoa Powder: Deep chocolate flavor that enhances the brownie’s richness.
- Butter: Adds moisture and creates a fudgy texture for the brownies.
- Eggs: Provide structure and gooeyness to the brownies.
- Vanilla Extract: A must for flavoring; it enhances all the other ingredients.
- Semisweet Chocolate: The star of the french silk mousse, making it decadent.
- Heavy Cream: Gives the mousse its creamy texture.
- Powdered Sugar: For sweetness and a light texture in the mousse.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top using a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing them.
- To prepare the mousse, melt the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the cooled chocolate into the whipped cream gently until well combined.
- Spoon the chocolate mousse over the cooled brownies and spread evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Allow the mixture to cool before folding into the whipped cream for the mousse.
- Using room temperature eggs in the brownie mix helps create a better texture.
- Feel free to decorate with shaved chocolate or berries for garnish.
