Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and stir in both granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually combine this mixture with the wet ingredients until just mixed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow them to cool completely.
- For the mousse, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until hot but not boiling. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly before spreading it over the cooled brownies.
- Top with chocolate ganache and chill in the fridge before serving. Once settled, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
For enhanced flavor, use high-quality chocolate. Don’t skip the chilling step; it melds flavors beautifully.
