Description

A decadent Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cake featuring a rich, fudgy brownie base topped with a smooth and creamy chocolate mousse, finished with a light whipped cream topping. This elegant dessert combines the dense texture of brownies with the airy lightness of mousse, perfect for special occasions or indulgent treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water

Mousse Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownie base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan. In a bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions by combining it with vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix until smooth.
  2. Bake the brownie: Pour the prepared brownie batter into the greased cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan.
  3. Make the mousse topping: While the brownie cools, gently heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour the warm cream over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Mix the mousse: Let the chocolate and cream mixture cool for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Then fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract carefully until the mousse is smooth and well combined.
  5. Assemble the cake: Pour the prepared mousse over the cooled brownie base directly in the cake pan. Spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours to allow the mousse to set firmly.
  6. Top with whipped cream: Just before serving, evenly spread the whipped cream over the mousse layer for added richness and creamy texture. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream is warm but not boiling to prevent seizing the chocolate when making the mousse.
  • Allow the brownie to cool fully before adding mousse to prevent melting the mousse layer.
  • You can garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries for an extra decorative touch.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
  • Refrigerate leftover cake and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
