I recently made this dessert to take to a small farewell party for a good friend and I couldn't believe the response I received. A bottom layer of our Truffle Brownie Mix is topped by a rich, yet fluffy white chocolate mousse, covered in sticky caramelized bananas and finished off with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Not only is it a beautiful result, but incredibly enough, this brownie mix cake recipe tastes even better than it looks! The entire dessert was gobbled up in no time, and I went home with an empty pan! Your guests are absolutely sure to love this delicious creation. Enjoy!
