Recipe Yield: 9-12 brownies
INGREDIENTS
For the Brownies:
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking powder
For the Chocolate Frosting:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp heavy cream
½ tsp vanilla extract
For Decoration:
4 oz white chocolate, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat & prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Make the brownie batter: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until a thick batter forms.
3. Bake the brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let brownies cool completely before frosting.
4. Prepare the frosting: Beat butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla together until smooth and fluffy.
5. Frost & Cut: Once cooled, remove the brownies from the pan and spread chocolate frosting evenly over the top. For a classic look, slice into squares, or use a heart-shaped cookie cutter if you’d like to create festive brownie hearts.
6. Decorate with white chocolate: Melt white chocolate and transfer it to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small cut in the corner. Draw delicate white chocolate hearts on top of each brownie.
7. Let set & serve: Allow the white chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy these adorable and decadent Love Brownies with your loved ones!
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use quality cocoa: High-quality unsweetened cocoa powder gives these brownies a rich, deep chocolate flavor.
- Chill before cutting: For the cleanest cuts, refrigerate the brownies for 20-30 minutes before slicing into squares or using a cookie cutter for heart shapes.
- Customize the design: Add sprinkles, drizzle with extra melted chocolate, or use pink-tinted white chocolate for a fun Valentine’s twist!
