Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Mousse

 

BROWNIE

1 2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ CHOCOLATIER™ 53% Cacao Dark Chocolate

Morsels, divided (I used milk chocolate chips because I prefer them)

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup (2/3 stick) butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/3 cup frozen raspberries, drained, mashed

 

RASPBERRY MOUSSE

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 to 7 drops red food coloring (optional)

1/4 cup frozen raspberries, drained, mashed

1/3 cup whipping cream

 

FOR BROWNIE:

PREHEAT oven to 350º F. Grease 9-inch-square baking pan.

 

MICROWAVE 1 cup chocolate morsels in small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on

HIGH (100%) power for 45 seconds; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their

original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second

intervals, stirring just until smooth; cool to room temperature.

 

COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Beat granulated sugar,

butter and vanilla extract in medium mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat

until light and fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate. Stir in flour mixture until

blended. Stir in mashed raspberries. Spread into prepared baking pan.

 

BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out

slightly sticky. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

 

FOR RASPBERRY MOUSSE:

CHOP remaining morsels into roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Beat cream cheese, powdered

sugar, vanilla extract and food coloring, if desired, in medium mixer bowl until

creamy. Fold in mashed raspberries and chopped chocolate morsels.

 

BEAT cream in small mixer bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into raspberry cream

cheese mixture until blended. Spread mousse over cooled brownie. Refrigerate for

1 hour. Cut into bars.
