Chocolate Mousse Brownies

🍫 Chocolate Mousse Brownies

Rich, fudgy brownies topped with a thick layer of creamy chocolate mousse and finished with a glossy chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

For the brownies:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

For the chocolate mousse:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1/3 cup chocolate sauce or ganache

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk melted butter and sugar together. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. Stir in cocoa powder, flour and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Spread batter in the pan and bake for 22–27 minutes, until the center is set but still fudgy. Cool completely.
5. For the mousse, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
6. Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.
7. Spread the mousse generously over the cooled brownies.
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
9. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or ganache, slice and serve chilled.

Tip: For clean layers, chill the brownies thoroughly before slicing and wipe the knife between cuts.
