Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 cup (115g) Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, ice-cold
- 0.5 cup Milk Chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Chocolate Curls or Shaved Chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar in a medium bowl, then beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder just until combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat 0.5 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the ganache evenly over your cooled brownie base and freeze or refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- In a chilled glass bowl, beat ice-cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Slowly pour in the cooled, melted milk chocolate and gently fold until smooth.
- Remove the chilled brownie pan from the fridge. Spread or pipe the mousse evenly across the set ganache layer and garnish with chocolate curls.
- Refrigerate the entire pan for at least 2 hours until fully stabilized.
