Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Cups

  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Garnish and Filling

  • 1/4 cup raspberry or chocolate topping (raspberry syrup, jam, or melted chocolate), for garnish (optional)
  • Raspberry mousse (amount as desired for filling; recipe not provided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownie cups.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add vanilla extract and eggs, then mix thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix only until just incorporated to avoid overworking the batter.
  4. Fill Mini Cups: Lightly grease and flour a mini cup tin. Using a size 70 scoop or a tablespoon, drop about 1 tablespoon of batter into each cup, filling them evenly.
  5. Bake Brownie Cups: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Create Cups Shape: Allow brownies to cool for 5 minutes, then gently press the center of each brownie with a small rolling pin, a round tablespoon, or a similar tool to form a cup shape. Remove brownie cups carefully from the pan.
  7. Prepare Mousse Piping Bag: Fill a ziplock bag fitted with a piping tip or cut a corner to create a 1/4 inch hole with raspberry mousse for filling.
  8. Pipe Mousse: Once the brownie cups have cooled completely, pipe the raspberry mousse into each cup.
  9. Garnish: Drizzle the filled brownie cups with raspberry syrup, jam, or melted chocolate as desired for an extra burst of flavor and decoration.
  10. Chill and Serve: Chill the brownie cups in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours to allow the mousse to set or serve immediately if preferred.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep brownies tender.
  • Use small scoops to ensure uniform mini brownie cups for consistent baking.
  • Make sure the brownie cups are fully cooled before filling to prevent the mousse from melting.
  • Chilling helps the mousse set properly for a cleaner presentation and better texture.
  • Raspberry mousse recipe is not included; use your favorite homemade or store-bought raspberry mousse.
  • Optional garnish enhances flavor and visual appeal but can be omitted if desired.
