<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>



<p><strong>Brownies</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>200 g dark chocolate</li>



<li>150 g butter</li>



<li>150 g sugar</li>



<li>3 eggs</li>



<li>80 g flour</li>



<li>1 pinch of salt</li>



<li>1 tsp vanilla (optional)</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Instructions</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list" type="1">
<li>Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/remy-olivier-diamond-square-pan.html">Remy Olivier Diamond square pan</a> or line it with parchment paper.</li>



<li>Melt the chocolate and butter together in a <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/remy-olivier-total-clad-saucepan-3-6-l.html">Remy Olivier Total Clad Saucepan</a> over low heat, stirring occasionally to get a&nbsp;smooth mixture. You&nbsp;can also melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.</li>



<li>Add the sugar to the melted chocolate-butter mixture and&nbsp;mix well.</li>



<li>Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the vanilla.</li>



<li>Add the flour and salt and mix just enough to incorporate the flour, without overworking the dough. This will keep the brownies soft and moist.</li>



<li>Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.</li>



<li>Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. The brownie should be cooked on the edges but still slightly gooey in the center. A&nbsp;toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a&nbsp;few moist crumbs.</li>



<li>Let it cool in the pan. Using a round cookie cutter, cut&nbsp;the&nbsp;brownie.</li>

<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>



<p><strong>Coconut mousse</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>1 pack of gelatin</li>



<li>¼ cup of cold water</li>



<li>200 ml 35% cooking cream</li>



<li>80 g mascarpone</li>



<li>80 g powdered sugar</li>



<li>120 ml coconut milk</li>



<li>Brownies (see recipe)</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Instructions</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list" type="1">
<li>The day before or at least 6 hours in advance, start by&nbsp;making the coconut mousse: use the <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/thinkkitchen-odyssey-stand-mixer-charcoal-660-w-7-l.html">thinkkitchen Odyssey Stand Mixer</a> to whip the 35% cooking cream and mascarpone in&nbsp;a&nbsp;very cold <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/thinkkitchen-orion-mixing-bowls-with-glass-lids-set-of-3-silver-and-black.html">thinkkitchen Orion Mixing Bowl</a>, gradually adding the powdered sugar. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the&nbsp;rest.</li>



<li>Bloom the gelatin pack in ¼ cup of cold water.</li>



<li>Heat the coconut milk in the <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/remy-olivier-total-clad-sauce-pan-1-9-l.html">Remy Olivier Total Clad Sauce Pan</a>. When it’s warm, remove from heat and add the blooming gelatin. Let it cool slightly, then gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula.</li>



<li>Pour the mousse into the <a href="https://www.stokesstores.com/en/thinkkitchen-silicone-ice-ball-mould.html">thinkkitchen Silicone Ice Ball Mould</a>, adding a teaspoon of spread halfway, then cover and smooth it with a spatula. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours.</li>



<li>Make the brownies (see recipe p.50).</li>



<li>Remove the domes from the molds and place them on&nbsp;the brownies cut in circle. Let them thaw for 2 hours at&nbsp;room temperature, then sprinkle grated coconut over the&nbsp;entire&nbsp;dome.</li>
