Equipment

  • Mini muffin pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Small saucepan
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional, for seedless purée)
  • Piping bag or zip-top bag (for filling)

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

For the Raspberry Mousse

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water, divided
  • 2¼ tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

For Topping

  • ¼ cup raspberry preserves (to drizzle or decorate)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line two mini muffin tins (24–30 cavities).
  • Make the brownie batter by whisking melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla and eggs, then stir in flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the tins, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 14–16 minutes, until the centers are set but soft.
  • While still warm, press a rounded tablespoon into the center of each to make a divot. Cool completely before removing from the pan.
  • To make the mousse, bloom gelatin in ¼ cup cold water. Simmer raspberries, sugar, and remaining ¼ cup water for 5 minutes, then blend and strain if desired.
  • Stir in the bloomed gelatin and return to low heat until dissolved and slightly thickened. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold in the cooled raspberry mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  • Pipe or spoon the mousse into the brownie centers and chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Before serving, drizzle with raspberry preserves or top with fresh berries.
