Photo: Fudge Brownie Bites with Cherry Mousse Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (19.5 ounce) box traditional fudge brownie mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries
- 3 teaspoons maraschino cherry juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 15 by 10 by 1-inch jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate morsels. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 18 minutes; cool completely. Cut brownies using a 1 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on a serving tray; set aside.
In a small bowl, soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water, let stand 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup boiling water, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
In a medium bowl, beat whipping cream with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Gently stir in gelatin mixture, cherries, and juice. Cover and chill 2 hours.
To serve, pipe or spoon cherry mousse onto prepared brownies.

I tried the mousse and it wasnt very good. It was way too sweet and wasnt even a mousse, it was more like pudding. I would pass.

These were were really yummy! My family really loved them...I was also a little confused with the oil and vanilla ingredients...but you just prepare it how she has it written not by how the box has you prepare it...I think the size pan might be a little large, because when I made mine...they were really moist but on the edges they were too hard to serve. I think next time when I make them (this weekend I'll use a slightly smaller pan. Paula Dean always has such yummy recipies...this would be an awesome idea for a party!
