Print Recipe

Elegant mini brownie bites topped with smooth chocolate mousse, fresh blackberries, and decorative gold pearls—perfect for parties and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Chocolate Mousse Topping:
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • For Decoration:
  • 24 fresh blackberries
  • Edible gold pearls (or sugar pearls)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool completely in the pan.
  7. To make the mousse, melt the chocolate chips and let cool slightly.
  8. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until fluffy and smooth. Chill the mousse for 15–20 minutes.
  10. Once brownies are completely cool, cut them into 24 small rectangles.
  11. Pipe a dollop of chocolate mousse onto each brownie bite.
  12. Top each with a fresh blackberry, a gold pearl, and a mint leaf if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Brownies can be baked a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
  • Chill the mousse before piping for best results.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the mousse.
  • Decorations like gold pearls and mint leaves are optional but add elegance.
