How to Make Easy Easter Brownies
After removing the brownies from the oven, let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them from the pan to a cooling rack and cool for up to 1 hour before frosting.
Place the cooled brownies on a cutting board. Use a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out brownie footballs.
Spread a thin, even layer of chocolate frosting over each brownie, covering the top completely. Use an offset spatula or butter knife to smooth the surface.
Spoon vanilla frosting into a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe one or two long horizontal line across the center of each brownie, then add three short vertical lines across it to resemble football laces.
Continue until all brownies are frosted. Enjoy!
Top Tip
You’ll want to remove them from the oven a couple of minutes before they’re fully done. This is how you get fudgy, melt-in-your-mouth brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before decorating. They should cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then remove them from the pan to cool at least another 30 minutes on a wire rack before decorating.
Storage
If the frosting you’re using for the brownies contains milk, butter, or cream, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to serve, allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. That way, they’re nice and fudgy, and the frosting softens.
For brownies with dairy-free frosting, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
FAQs
Of course! You can bake them up to 2 days in advance. Just store in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Then, on the day you’re ready to serve, frost.
We get the best results by spraying the knife with cooking spray before cutting and wiping or rinsing the knife clean when bits of brownie start to stick.
Absolutely! You freeze unfrosted brownies for a few months. When you’re ready to serve, thaw them overnight in the fridge, then let them come to room temperature before decorating.
