Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the mousse, melt semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water; let cool slightly. Whip chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in melted chocolate along with milk and powdered sugar.
- Spread mousse evenly over cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least three hours before serving.
