Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
French Silk Topping:
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Brownie Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk melted butter and sugar, then add eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Combine wet and dry ingredients, fold in chocolate chips, and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- French Silk Topping: Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat melted chocolate and softened butter until creamy. Fold in whipped cream, spread over cooled brownies, and chill for 2 hours. Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
- For an extra-decadent dessert, top with sweetened whipped cream before adding chocolate shavings.
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before adding silk topping to avoid melting.
