Petit Beurre Brownie Chocolate Mousse Dessert - featured image

A quick and easy layered dessert combining crunchy Petit Beurre biscuits, fudgy brownie chunks, and creamy chocolate mousse for a comforting and decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Petit Beurre biscuits (about 2-3 biscuits per serving)
  • 150g (5 oz) brownies, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 300g (10 oz) chocolate mousse (store-bought or homemade)
  • 100ml (⅓ cup) heavy cream, whipped lightly (optional)
  • 12 tbsp chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop about 150g (5 oz) of brownies into small, bite-sized chunks. Set aside.
  2. If using heavy cream, whip 100ml (⅓ cup) until soft peaks form. Skip if using store-bought mousse.
  3. In a mixing bowl, gently fold the whipped cream into 300g (10 oz) of chocolate mousse, adding 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp sugar if desired. Use gentle folding motions to keep it light and fluffy.
  4. In serving glasses, start with a layer of crushed Petit Beurre biscuits (about 2-3 biscuits per serving). Press them lightly to form a base.
  5. Spoon a layer of brownie chunks over the biscuits, distributing evenly.
  6. Top with the chocolate mousse mixture, filling the glass almost to the top.
  7. For taller glasses, repeat biscuit and brownie layers once more, finishing with a mousse layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and mousse set.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Do not overwhip cream to avoid grainy texture. Chill dessert for at least 1 hour for best texture. Press biscuits gently to maintain crunch. You can customize with fruits, nuts, or spices. Store refrigerated up to 2 days. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
