A light and airy layer of chocolate mousse tops our fudgy and dense brownies for the perfect two-bite treat. Serve as is, or pair it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
4 eggs (divided)
3 tbsp granulated sugar
½ cup whipping cream
1 pkg Fudgy Brownie Mix
2 tbsp milk (your choice)
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly oil an 8" square baking pan.
In a medium saucepan, heat chocolate chips and cream over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and let cool 5 min.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mix with butter. Add 2 eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Scrape into baking pan.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat remaining 2 eggs and sugar on medium-high speed until foamy, about 1 min. Beat in cooled cream and chocolate mixture on low speed until smooth. Pour over brownie batter in baking pan.
Bake, 30–32 min or until topping is set and toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hr. Refrigerate 1 hr or until chilled.
Cut into squares and sprinkle with cocoa powder before serving, if desired.
