Ingredients
1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 tbsp chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven and prepare the brownie batter as directed. Pour into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake according to package or recipe instructions. Let cool completely.
2. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
4. Stir in melted chocolate and beat until smooth and creamy.
5. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture until light and fluffy.
6. Spread the mousse layer evenly over the cooled brownie base.
7. Add a thick, even layer of whipped topping over the mousse.
8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
10. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the brownie layer is completely cool before layering mousse to prevent melting.
Use good-quality chocolate chips for the smoothest mousse.
For clean slices, chill overnight and use a hot knife wiped clean between cuts.
