• Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the remaining 1/4 cup liqueur until just combined (do not overbeat). Top the brownies with the whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
