Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely.
- For the mousse, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chopped bittersweet chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Chill until barely set.
- In a separate bowl, whip remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold whipped cream into the chilled chocolate mixture gently until combined.
- Spread mousse evenly over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
