Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (for mousse)
- Optional: Fresh berries or chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a square 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate together over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the eggs one at a time into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring each egg is incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the mousse. Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth. Cool slightly before gently folding it into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Once the brownies are completely cool, cut them into bite-sized pieces or crumble them. Layer brownie pieces at the bottom of your serving glasses or bowls.
Top the brownie pieces with a generous layer of the chocolate mousse. Repeat with another layer of brownie pieces and mousse if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
Garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings before serving if desired. Enjoy!
