Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer:

  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup (39 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs, (room temperature)
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mousse:

  • 1 ½ cups (357 g) heavy whipping cream, (cold, divided)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, (semi-sweet (or your preference))
  • chocolate curls, (for garnish (optional))

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and line a baking dish with parchment. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. BROWNIE LAYER
    1. Make brownies. Whisk dry ingredients. In a large bowl whisk flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    2. Add eggs, butter, and vanilla. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
    3. Mix in flour mixture. With the mixer off, add the flour mixture. Turn the mixer on low and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
    4. Bake. Pour brownies into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until done.
    5. Let cool. Let the brownies cool at room temperature.
  3. MOUSSE
    1. Make mousse. Heat heavy cream. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat ½ cup of the heavy cream for 50 seconds (depending on microwave strength).
    2. Add chocolate to warm cream and stir. Add the chocolate chips to the cream and stir until the chocolate has melted. Set aside to cool.
    3. Pour remaining cream into a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Pour the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream into a medium bowl. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Continue whipping the cream until stiff peaks form.
    4. Fold cooled chocolate mixture into whipped cream. Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
    5. Spread mousse over cooled brownies. Garnish with chocolate curls. Pour the mousse over the cooled brownies and spread it into an even layer. Garnish with chocolate curls (optional).
    6. Refrigerate 2 hours (up to overnight) before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use good quality chocolate for a rich flavor.
  • Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the mousse layer.
  • Experiment with different garnishes like fresh berries or whipped cream.
