Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1 cup chocolate mousse

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

Topping

  • Once cool, spread a layer of chocolate mousse over the brownies, followed by whipped topping.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, don’t overmix the batter to ensure fudginess. You can enjoy these brownies with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
