A mouthwatering chocolate brownie is an easy dessert idea if you are hosting a party with your friends and family. A simple dessert recipe that can be done also by those who are a novice in the baking world. This recipe is a fail-proof to have the best chocolate mousse brownies. One thing to note is to use a double boiler method in which you put a large bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. This helps in preventing the cream from boiling and avoiding the chocolate from overcooking.
