  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the mousse:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in sugar until combined. Remove from heat.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, mixing well.

  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
  6. For the mousse, heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate and butter. Let sit, then stir until smooth.
  7. Spread the mousse over the cooled brownies, refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  8. Finish with a chocolate ganache and garnishes like chocolate shavings and berries before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are fully cooled before layering mousse to prevent melting.
