French Silk Dream Brownies Recipe

I really like brownies! The ideal breakfast for me is a cup of tea and a piece of brownie. It relaxes me and gives me energy. And I mean – who doesn’t like French silk pie! So, I turned this classic dessert into fudgy brownies topped with a chocolate mousse and cream. Here is the French silk brownies recipe:

Servings 9 brownies

Ingredients:

For the brownies:

• 3-ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup (12 oz./ 340 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the chocolate layer:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2-ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 whole pasteurized eggs

For the topping:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 ½ tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or shaved chocolate

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C/ Gas Mark 4. Line an 9 x 9 x 1 1/2 in. (23 x 23 x 4 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, foil, or grease and flour pan, and set aside.

To make the brownies:

• In a bowl mix together oil and melted chocolate until smooth.
• Add sugar and eggs and beat until well combined.
• Fold in baking powder, flour, and salt until mixed together.
• Place into prepared pan and put in the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes – or until a tester comes out generally clean.
• Remove and cool completely. When the brownies are completely cool make the chocolate layer.

To make the chocolate layer:

• In a large bowl using a stand mixer or an electric mixer beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy; around 2 minutes. Slowly mix in cooled chocolate. Put vanilla and mix until combined.
• Add one egg at a time, beating for three minutes on medium high after every egg. Spread the chocolate layer over cooled brownies.

To make the topping:

• Use a mixer to beat the heavy cream. Add vanilla and sugar mix until stiff peaks. Next, spread over chocolate layer.
• In the end, sprinkle with some shaved chocolate pieces or chocolate chips. Place in the fridge for at least an hour until set. Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
