Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (90g) brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (180g) fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder
1 tablespoon cold water (to bloom gelatin)
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter and mix with both sugars. Whisk in eggs and vanilla, then stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Bake in a lined pan for 18–22 minutes. Cool completely.
Use a heart-shaped cutter to cut brownie bases and place them into silicone heart molds or rings.
Cook raspberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice until broken down. Strain through a fine sieve and let cool slightly.
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let bloom 5 minutes. Gently warm until dissolved, then stir into raspberry puree.
Beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks. Gently fold in raspberry mixture.
Pipe or spoon mousse over brownie bases. Smooth tops and refrigerate at least 4 hours until set.
Carefully remove from molds and decorate with fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, or powdered sugar.
