Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips, melted
1/4 tsp salt for ganache
1 cup heavy cream for ganache
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt
Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs
Let brownies cool completely
In a large bowl, whisk together melted chocolate chips and 1/4 tsp salt
Chill in the refrigerator until slightly thickened but still pourable (about 10 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form
Gently fold whipped cream into the slightly thickened chocolate mixture until fully combined
Spread the mousse layer over cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
In a saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream just until it starts to simmer. Pour over melted chocolate, stir until smooth, and let cool slightly before drizzling over mousse
Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before slicing and serving
Notes
For the best results, chill the brownies before adding the mousse layer
For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use non-dairy milk and cream
These can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Drizzle ganache over individual slices just before serving for a restaurant-quality finish
