Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract

Mint Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Bake the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan. Melt the butter and mix it with granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold them carefully into the wet mixture. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until just set but still moist inside.
  2. Make the Mint Frosting: While the brownies bake, whip together softened butter, powdered sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This frosting will provide a refreshing complement to the rich brownie base.
  3. Spread Frosting and Chill: Allow the brownies to cool completely. Spread the mint frosting evenly over the top. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour to let the frosting set firmly for neat slicing.
  4. Slice and Serve: Remove chilled brownies from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts, slice into squares. Serve and enjoy the refreshing, fudgy treat.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and fresh mint extract for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
  • Cool brownies completely before applying frosting to avoid melting it.
  • Chill the frosted brownies for clean, neat cuts.
  • Adjust frosting sugar levels to customize mint sweetness intensity.
