Description
Delicious bite-sized dessert combining fudgy brownie cups with creamy raspberry mousse.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18–19 oz) fudge brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on box (typically: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (or milk)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam (plus more for swirling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- Extra raspberry jam (thinned with 1–2 tsp warm water) for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to the temperature on your brownie mix box (usually 350°F). Line a mini muffin pan (24-count) with mini liners or grease well. Mix brownie batter according to package directions. Fill each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake 12–15 minutes (until set). Immediately press the center of each brownie with the back of a rounded teaspoon (or a tart tamper) to form a well. Cool completely in the pan.
- Melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in 20–30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Spoon a little melted chocolate into each brownie well and swirl it around the edges. Let set.
- Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, raspberry jam, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the raspberry mixture until fluffy. Spoon or pipe mousse into each brownie cup.
- Drizzle a little thinned jam over the mousse and swirl lightly with a toothpick for that marbled look. Chill 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Use seedless jam for the smoothest mousse.
- Keep mousse cold for the prettiest swirls.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Bake brownie cups 1 day ahead; fill with mousse the day of (or up to 12 hours ahead).
