Ingredients

This recipe consists of three layers: a brownie layer, a mousse layer, and a topping layer. For the brownie layer, you will need:

1/2 cup of melted butter
3/4 cup of white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the mousse layer, you will need:

3 tablespoons of cold water
1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of white sugar
2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the topping layer, you will need:

1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of crushed walnuts (optional)

Instructions

To make the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. In another medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownie to cool completely before adding the mousse layer.

To make the mousse layer: In a small bowl, combine the cold water and gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. In a medium bowl, whip the cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the gelatin mixture. Spread the mousse over the cooled brownie layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set.

To make the topping layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and cream together, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the mousse layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crushed walnuts over the top (if desired). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
