Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • Green food dye (to desired intensity)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Frosting

  • 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until fully liquid.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Transfer the melted butter to a large mixing bowl, add the semi sweet chocolate chips, and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the white granulated sugar, eggs, green food dye, and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture until everything is well combined and uniform in color.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold or stir just until mixed; avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  8. Cool Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting to ensure the frosting spreads smoothly.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  10. Add Frosting Ingredients: Add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until light, fluffy, and well incorporated.
  11. Frost Brownies: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula or knife.
  12. Garnish and Serve: Decorate the frosted brownies with green sprinkles for a festive, colorful finish. Slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • You can adjust the green food dye quantity depending on the desired shade of green.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi sweet.
  • For easier removal, line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  • The frosting is best consumed within 2 days when kept refrigerated.
