Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Layer:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
French Silk Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (melted and cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Optional chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
Instructions
- Brownie Layer: Prepare and bake the brownie mix according to package directions in a 9×9-inch pan. Let the brownies cool completely.
- French Silk Filling: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted, cooled chocolate and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Continue beating for 3–5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and silky. Spread the French silk filling evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Whipped Cream Topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the brownies are fully cooled before adding the French silk layer to prevent melting.
- For richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- These brownies are best served chilled.
