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 intensity
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 8-ounce package 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). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies after baking.
  2. Melt Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the ¾ cup unsalted butter. This will be combined with the chocolate chips in the next step.
  3. Combine Butter and Chocolate: Transfer the melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir continuously until all chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the 2 cups white sugar, 4 eggs, green food dye (adjust quantity for desired color intensity), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and uniform in color.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt just until everything is combined without overmixing.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared 8×8-inch pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting, ensuring the frosting doesn’t melt.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened 8-ounce cream cheese and 4 tablespoons softened butter together until smooth and creamy.
  10. Add Frosting Ingredients: Mix in 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  11. Frost the Brownies: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula or knife.
  12. Decorate and Serve: Sprinkle green sprinkles generously over the frosting for a festive finish. Slice into squares and enjoy your fudgy green velvet brownies!

Notes

  • Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Adjust the amount of green food dye to achieve your preferred shade of green.
  • For cleaner slices, refrigerate the brownies after frosting for 30 minutes before cutting.
  • If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
