Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs

For the mousse:

  • 3/4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Additional chocolate for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Melt butter in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Quickly whisk in eggs, one at a time.
  • Add butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until well blended. Spread brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the mousse by heating marshmallows, chocolate and milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often until completely smooth. Cool completely.
  • With an electric mixer, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Spread mousse evenly over cooled brownies. Drizzle with additional melted chocolate, or top with chocolate shavings, if desired.
  • Refrigerate brownies for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. Keep leftover brownies in the refrigerator (this will also make the brownie layer dense and chewy!).
