2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate shavings
mix brownies according to instructions on box, using the two-egg recipe and
pans with either parchment paper or wax paper (the paper lining makes it
much easier to remove the brownies from the pan.) grease bottoms with oil or spray with pam. pour batter into pans, and bake - either in a convection
oven at 325f for 20 minutes, or in a standard oven for about 24-26
minutes. (the convection oven is preferred - it makes a chewier brownie). bake until
a toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownie comes out clean.
important - do not overcook. remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
loosen the sides with a knife, then remove the brownies in 1 piece from
1 of the pans. turn the brownies upside down and return to the pan. peel
off paper, then brush the brownie with half of the kahlua, starting from the
outer edges and working toward the center. spread 2 cups of the chocolate
mousse evenly over the brownie, then spread 2 cups whipped cream over the
use a vegetable peeler to shave chocolate, then sprinkle top evenly with
chocolate shavings. remove second brownie from the other pan, brush with
remaining kahlua, and place on top. repeat layers, first spreading the
remaining chocolate mousse, then the remaining whipped cream. (there are no chocolate shavings on top). refrigerate to store.
