Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 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 color)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese 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 decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt butter: Melt the ¾ cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until fully melted.
  3. Combine chocolate and butter: 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 glossy.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: Whisk in the white granulated sugar, eggs, green food dye, and vanilla extract until fully combined and evenly colored.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to maintain fudgy texture.
  6. Pour and bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
  8. Prepare frosting base: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  9. Add remaining frosting ingredients: Add powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until the frosting is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  10. Frost the brownies: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies with a spatula or knife.
  11. Decorate: Sprinkle green sprinkles over the frosted brownies for a festive finishing touch.
  12. Serve: Slice the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your rich, fudgy, and colorful green velvet brownies!

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Adjust green food dye amount to achieve your preferred shade of green.
  • For easier slicing, chill the brownies briefly after frosting.
  • You can substitute semi sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • If you want a more pronounced cheesecake flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the frosting.
