Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, berries, or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a larger bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract. Fold in dry ingredients just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Melt chopped chocolate over a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  4. Fold melted chocolate into whipped cream gently. Spread over cooled brownie layer evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
  5. Once set, decorate with toppings like chocolate shavings, berries, or whipped cream. Slice with a clean knife and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie layer is completely cooled before adding the mousse to prevent melting.
  • Chilling the assembled brownies helps the mousse to set properly for neat slicing.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut or almond cream for heavy cream and use dairy-free chocolate.
