Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 4 oz (115g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 oz (85g) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)
  • Mini chocolate chips or shavings for garnish
  • Optional: fresh berries or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until combined.
  2. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
  5. Melt semi-sweet chocolate over a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.
  6. Whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Fold melted chocolate gently into whipped cream until uniform and airy. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  8. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
  9. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Stir in butter if desired. Let cool slightly to thicken but still pourable.
  10. Cut cooled brownies into bite-sized cubes.
  11. Spoon a layer of brownie chunks into each dessert cup. Add a dollop of chocolate mousse on top, then drizzle with ganache.
  12. Repeat layers if cups are tall. Finish with mini chocolate chips or shavings and optional fresh berries or mint.
  13. Refrigerate assembled cups for at least 1 hour before serving chilled.

Notes

Do not overmix brownie batter to keep it fudgy and tender. Temper chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Chill mousse and brownies before assembling to prevent melting. Use a handheld mixer for easier whipping. Ganache can be made in a double boiler or microwave carefully.
