How to Make Chocolate Brownie Mousse

  1. Break 150g of brownies into bite-sized pieces and scatter them evenly across the bottom of four individual serving glasses or a large bowl.
  2. Place 200g of chopped dark chocolate and 100ml of double cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir gently and frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly for about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 100ml of double cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  6. Carefully spoon or pour the chocolate mousse over the brownie layer in your serving glasses or bowl.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and chill (up to 2 hours for a firmer mousse).
  8. Before serving, garnish with grated white chocolate, halved fresh cherries, and a dash of Kirsch (optional) for a Black Forest twist.
