Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar together over medium heat until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the brownies cool, prepare the mousse by melting the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Let cool slightly.
Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fully combined.
Spread the chocolate mousse over the cooled brownies and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra touch, top with chocolate shavings or berries.
Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before adding the mousse to prevent melting.
