Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
Whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder in another bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For the mousse, melt semisweet chocolate with milk over low heat until smooth; let cool slightly. In another bowl, whip chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form; gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to whip. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into whipped cream.
Once brownies are cooled completely, spread the mousse evenly on top and chill in the refrigerator for at least three hours before serving.
