These ultra moist brownies can be cut into squares, or whatever shape you’d like. In this case, Valentine’s Day is a couple days away so it only seemed appropriate to use a 2″ heart cookie cutter. Classic cream cheese frosting creates the tie that binds two hearts together. How tasty.
Ingredients
- 6 oz dark chocolate chips (about 3/4 cup if you don't have a scale)
- 6 TB unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 TB buttermilk powder (Bob's Red Mill)
- 2 tsp red food gel paste
- 1 tsp distilled (white) vinegar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- Classic Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 TB (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8" square baking pan with non stick spray. If you want to use cookie cutters, wrap a 1/4 sheet pan in foil then spray with non stick spray.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Once chips and butter have melted, stir in sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Beat each egg in one at a time until fully incorporated. Then stir in buttermilk powder, gel paste, and vinegar.
Step 4
Finally, stir in the flour. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until sides pull away from foil. Center will be firm when pressed. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting.
Step 6
To prepare frosting, beat together cream cheese, and butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Add extract and incorporate. Spread frosting onto brownies. If using cookie cutters, use a piping bag to apply frosting then sandwich two hearts together.
