Chocolate Mousse Brownie Recipe

Ingredients  

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups (350ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 8 oz (225g) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp (25g) powdered sugar
  • 4 oz (115g) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped for ganache
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream for ganache

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  • Whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Sift in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the pan and bake 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
  • Warm milk and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir smooth and cool slightly.
  • Whip cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Stir a spoonful into the cooled chocolate, then fold in the rest gently.
  • Spread mousse over cooled brownie base. Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
  • Heat cream until simmering and pour over ganache chocolate. Let sit 2–3 minutes, then stir until glossy.
  • Pour ganache over mousse, smooth surface, and chill 1 hour. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.

Health Benefits:

Though rich in flavor, this dessert provides some antioxidants from dark chocolate, which may help support heart health. The whipped cream offers a small amount of calcium, and the cocoa powder contains iron and magnesium. However, due to its high sugar and fat content, this treat should be enjoyed sparingly.
