Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the lime mousse by mixing the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest in a medium bowl until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until no streaks remain.
Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the lime mousse evenly on top of the brownie layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
Slice into squares, garnish with additional lime zest or whipped cream if desired, and serve chilled.
