Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven according to the box brownie mix instructions. Prepare the mix and pour it into a greased baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small dish and let it bloom undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat ½ cup of heavy cream in a saucepan until it bubbles, then pour over the melted chocolate and mix well.
  • Warm the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved and add it to the chocolate mixture, stirring to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  • Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
  • Spread the chocolate mousse over the cooled brownie base and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set.
  • Slice into squares and garnish with white chocolate, fresh berries, mint leaves, or powdered sugar as desired.

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate for rich flavor. Ensure gelatin is bloomed properly for best results. Whip cream carefully and chill mousse long enough for optimal texture.
