Brownie Batter Frosting
I am SO excited to share this recipe for Brownie Batter Frosting with you! This recipe is from my friend Shelly’s brand new cookbook – The Cookies & Cups Cookbook: 125+ sweet & savory recipes reminding you to Always Eat Dessert First. It just came out this week. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy! The recipes are simple and delicious. There is also an amazing photo of every single recipe. I LOVE that! I like to know what the recipe is suppose to look like when it is done. I have bookmarked tons of recipes to make.
I decided to make this Brownie Batter Frosting first. I love brownies, and I could only imagine how great the frosting would taste. One bite and I was hooked. CRAZY good! I baked up some brownie mix in a mini muffin pan and then topped them with the frosting. I could not stop eating them. SO good.
The Brownie Batter Frosting is seriously one of the best frostings I’ve ever eaten. It would be great on cupcakes, cakes or just a spoon! There are only 4 ingredients and it only took about 5 minutes to make. Can’t beat that!
In addition to all the amazing desserts, Shelly has lots of great savory dishes in her cookbook too. I have my eye on a Taco Pasta and Frito Pie Sloppy Joes! OMG! I’m getting my stretchy pants out now!
Brownie Batter Frosting
ingredients:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
-
1 cup dry brownie mix
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
¼ cup heavy cream
instructions:
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and brownie mix on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth. Turn the speed to low and add the powdered sugar, mixing until incorporated. The mixture will be dry.
-
With the mixer still on low, slowly stream in the cream and mix until combined. Turn the speed back up to medium-high and beat for 1 to 2 minutes until the frosting is creamy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Store airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. If refrigerated or frozen, allow the frosting to return to room temperature before using.
