Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 4 oz high-quality dark chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Fold in flour until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
- For the mousse topping, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Melt dark chocolate, then fold it into the whipped cream along with vanilla extract.
- Spread mousse over cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
