Description

A decadent layered dessert made with crisp petit beurre biscuits, a rich fudgy brownie center, and a silky chocolate mousse topping. This elegant make-ahead treat delivers deep chocolate flavor with beautiful texture contrast in every bite.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 petit beurre biscuits
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 200 grams dark chocolate, divided
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter with 100 grams of the dark chocolate until smooth. Stir well.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture just until combined.
  7. Arrange the petit beurre biscuits in a single layer at the bottom of a rectangular baking dish.
  8. Pour the brownie batter evenly over the biscuits and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the brownie is set but still slightly fudgy in the center. Allow to cool completely.
  10. Melt the remaining 100 grams of dark chocolate and let it cool slightly.
  11. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks.
  12. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until smooth and airy to create the mousse.
  13. Spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving chilled.

Notes

  • Allow the brownie layer to cool completely before adding the mousse.
  • Chill thoroughly for clean, defined slices.
  • Use high quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
