Drizzle the brownies with ganache, and set them aside for 30 minutes, until the ganache sets. Then cut the brownies into squares, and garnish with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and chocolate shavings.
• Chocolate Ganache:.
• Warm the cream in the microwave or in a small pan over medium heat until it is very hot but not boiling. Combine the corn syrup and chocolate in a mixing bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted, and the mixture is smooth.
• Whipped Cream:.
• Beat the cream in a bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until it becomes frothy. Add the sugar and vanilla; continue beating until the cream holds soft peaks. Do not overbeat. Chill the cream, covered with plastic wrap, for no more than 1 hour if not using immediately.
• Note:.
• If time is important, you can also make this recipe using a 21 ounce box of brownie mix. Prepare the brownies as directed on the box for cakelike brownies, using 3 eggs total. The brownies will cut neater if you allow the ganache to set for at least 30 minutes once it is spread on the brownies. Be sure to chill the candy bars before chopping them, so they don't turn to mush in the food processor.
