Eggless Chocolate Mousse Brownie Ingredient List

All-purpose flour — The key ingredient of this recipe, all-purpose flour, renders structure and texture to the brownie. Fresh flour produces the best results. 

Cocoa Powder — Ghirardelli 100% cocoa powder is used for making the chocolate brownie, the base layer for this recipe. The cocoa powder gives flavor and a beautiful brown color to the brownie.

Sugar — The sweetening agent of the recipe that also adds a delicious caramel touch. Although regular granulated sugar works best, you can use brown sugar too. 

Baking Powder+ Baking Soda — These are the leavening agents helping the cake batter to rise correctly when baked and attain a feather-like texture and fluffiness.

Salt — A pinch of salt is added to balance the brownie’s sweetness and adjust the other ingredients’ flavors. 

Chocolate Chips — Semi-sweetened chocolate chips are used in this recipe for texture and to enhance the chocolatey flavor.

Sweetened Condensed Milk — This adds extra sweetness and moistness to the brownie while making it deliciously fudgy.  

Milk — An important ingredient that creates a soft, rich, and light brownie, together with the leavening agents used in this recipe. 

Butter/ Oil — You may use either of the two. I prefer using oil as it allows the chocolate flavors to shine through. 

Vanilla Essence — Added for the subtle floral vanilla flavor that lingers in each bite. 

Heavy Whipping Cream — This is used for preparing the mousse layer. Heavy cream with a fat content of at least 35% or more works best. 

Agar-agar — You can find agar-agar in your local grocery store’s pudding and pie section. Naturally vegan/ vegetarian, this ingredient renders firmness to the chocolate mousse. It has gel-like characteristics that help the mousse to take its shape. It can be substituted with gelatine if you do not particularly opt for a vegetarian recipe.  

Cornstarch — This is added to the mousse mix as the thickening agent. It also retains the creamy and smooth finish of the mousse while thickening it. 

Syrup and Sprinkles — The crowning jewels that are used to beautify this decadent brownie mousse. Drizzle it all over the mousse, and you have the most indulgent dessert ever!

Eggless Chocolate Mousse Brownie Tips and Variations

The secret to the best-baked brownie — Always mix the ingredients to the same temperatures to prepare the batter. The similar-temperature ingredients combine to create a thick and homogeneous batter that bakes best.

Can also use store-bought brownies — You can make the bottom layer of brownie from scratch at home or use a store-bought brownie if you are on a time crunch. 

Avoid over-baking — Overbaking will turn the brownie hard and crumbly. It needs to be baked just until the inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached to it. 

For the super clean-cut brownie slices — When warm, the brownie layer will not cut into clean pieces, so it is best to wait for it to cool down properly. Let the brownie cool for at least 2 to 3 hours to come to room temperature, or better still, let it cool overnight. This will give super clean-cut slices.

Cool before slicing — Cooling the brownie is essential before removing it from the 8×8 baking pan, as it is somewhat gooey and difficult to remove. It can break up easily while we try to do so. So, before releasing it for slicing, let it cool completely, preferably overnight or for a few hours in the fridge. 

Plan ahead — Before slicing the brownies to serve, make sure that the mousse layers have appropriately set. A well-set mousse results in cleanly cut slices that look too tempting. 

Scale the recipe up or down — This Eggless Chocolate Mousse Brownie is enough to serve a small family. However, it can be scaled up or down to feed a larger or smaller gathering.

For the sweeter-tasting mousse — This chocolate mousse tipping is not overly sweet, but you can always make it sweeter if you prefer. Just add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the whipped cream when preparing the mousse mix. 

Agar-agar in which form? Well, you can use any form of agar-agar for this recipe. It is available in the market in the form of powder, flakes, or strands. I used one teaspoon of powdered agar-agar, equivalent to 1 tablespoon of agar flakes.

May skip the chocolate drizzle on top — The chocolate drizzle on top is used for aesthetic reasons. You may completely skip the chocolate drizzle if you want to lighten things up.

Correct measurements bring excellent output — Incorrect measurements lead to undesirable results. Always use the accurate measurement of ingredients for the best outcome. 

Do not overbeat — An overbeaten batter results in a dense and chewy brownie. Just whisk the ingredients until well blended for the best results.
