These rich and indulgent French Silk Brownies combine a fudgy brownie base with a creamy, chocolate mousse-like French silk topping, all finished with a fluffy whipped cream layer and chocolate curls for a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 4 large eggs (pasteurized recommended)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Chocolate curls or shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the brownie mix according to the package directions in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Let the brownies cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and melted, cooled chocolate. Beat until combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 2-3 minutes after each addition, for a total of 10–12 minutes. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread the chocolate silk mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  6. Top with whipped topping and smooth it out with a spatula.
  7. Garnish with chocolate curls or shavings if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.

Notes

  • Use pasteurized eggs to reduce the risk of foodborne illness, as this recipe uses raw eggs.
  • Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before adding the French silk layer to prevent melting.
  • For best texture, refrigerate overnight before serving.
  • Can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
